ASME vs European Standards for Steel Testing by Abhijeet Sahu is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document compares the specifications for mechanical testing of steels for pressure equipment in the ASME and European standards. While there are some differences, such as the EN requiring elevated temperature proof testing and a minimum impact absorbed energy, the document concludes that both systems provide equivalent safety and protection against plastic collapse or brittle fracture. Neither system is considered more or less conservative, as vessels designed to either standard have been shown to have
