ASSE International has announced that members will now receive one free standard per year. Starting on July 25, when new members join ASSE, or when existing members renew their membership, they will receive a coupon code good for one free standard from the ASSE International web store, redeemable on any downloadable product performance or professional qualifications standard valued up to $60.

“The idea of offering one free standard per year was recommended to us by members at our first ASSE Membership Working Group Meeting, held last October at the 2018 ASSE International Annual Meeting in Fort Lauderdale,” said Tricia Megee, manager of ASSE Membership Programs and Activities. “We're committed to growing our membership and providing tangible, helpful benefits to our professional members, so we’re pleased to be able to announce that free standards are now a benefit of ASSE International membership.”

ASSE International is a membership organization and leading product and personnel certification agency for companies and individuals representing all disciplines of the plumbing and mechanical industries.

In addition to one free ASSE standard per year, ASSE members receive other benefits such as discounts on ASSE International publications, networking and educational opportunities, and free subscriptions to Working Pressure magazine and the ASSE International e-newsletter. New members also receive 50 percent off the active membership fee for their first year.
