New ASME Y14.35 on Document Revisions

The ASME Y14 series of drafting standards is an essential part of the engineering toolkit.  A number of documents in the set have been updated during the last year or so.  Now the ASME Y14.35, “Revision of Engineering Drawings and Associated Documents,” has been revised.  The new 2014 Edition replaces the previous 1997 Edition, which was numbered ASME Y14.35M (now obsolete).  You can order your copies of the new publication from Document Center Inc. now.

This part of the series addresses the issue of releasing revisions for drawings and documents.  It’s not uncommon for companies to have questions about this, since internal documentation is part of many organizations’ engineering resources.  The Y14.35 identifies what revisions are and covers how to identify and record them.

Updates to the previous edition are found in the following areas of the standard:

  • Paragraph 1.1, the Scope section
  • Paragraphs 3.4, 3.8.1 and 3.8.2, and 3.27 in the Definitions Section
  •  Paragraph 4.7 in the Drawing Practices Section
  • Paragraph 5.2 in the Edition Identification Section

Since the new edition is a technical update, you’ll want to get a copy if you use this document.  You can order it on the Document Center website at www.document-center.com.  Or you can contact our staff by phone (650-591-7600), fax (650-591-7617) or email (info@document-center.com).  The document is expected to ship in early- to mid-September.

Once you have your copy, you’ll get the reaffirmation stickers free if the document is reapproved during the period that it’s in force.  And when it’s updated, you’ll get an email notification.  Since 1982, Document Center Inc. has been providing customers with access to standards and supporting services to insure the correct use of this compliance information.  Make us your Standards Experts too!
