Ausra has been awarded the "S" Stamp Certificate of Authorisation from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) for its industrial solar steam power boilers.

An ASME "S" Stamp indicates that a product conforms to the latest edition of the ASME BPV Code and is considered the industry hallmark of acceptance and certification.

The company, which had bagged a $25.5 million equity funding facility in April this year, stated that it is the first and only solar steam power boiler manufacturer to receive this Certificate of Authorization under ASME's Boiler and Pressure Vessel (BPV) Code.

It is recognised as a means of meeting government safety regulations, and complies with all safety laws and regulations in the United States and Canada.
