3HCSI Srls – ITALY is a micro-organization led by Mr. Giancarlo Gobbi, President and CEO, who also serves as the ASME Liaison for Europe and the Middle East. Mr. Gobbi is a board member of the Italian Nuclear Association (A.I.N.)
3HCSI acts as ASME’s liaison in Europe, promoting ASME’s products and services, creating opportunities for growth in areas such as conformity assessment, standards, training, and professional development. These activities include workshops, certification programs, webinars, and training courses for professionals and companies in the conventional and nuclear pressure vessel sectors.
ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) is a non-profit organization founded in 1880, and it is one of the leading global engineering organizations. ASME fosters collaboration, knowledge sharing, and skill development across all engineering disciplines, while promoting the critical role of engineers in society.
Recognized in over 100 countries, ASME is a trusted source for technical standards, including codes and standards for nuclear component design and construction, in-service inspection and testing, pressure technology, and operational maintenance.
ASME’s nuclear codes and standards are essential for ensuring public safety, supporting global trade, fostering technological advancements, and facilitating knowledge transfer, while easing the regulatory burden on governments. Through a consensus-driven approach, ASME develops standards that are universally adopted and accepted, aiding in the design of advanced, safe systems, such as Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and other advanced reactor designs. These standards help the global community meet its carbon neutrality goals, contributing to a safer and more sustainable planet for present and future generations.
ASME continues to play a critical role in supporting the nuclear power industry and advancing engineering solutions to real-world challenges through its codes and standards, continuing education, and professional certification programs.
