OSHA is a US Federal Agency in the Department of Labor charged with regulating the minimum requirements for health and safety in the workplace.
ASME is a professional engineering society that has no regulatory authority but gathers the expertise of engineering professionals to make recommendations, among its other functions..
OSHA and ASME do work together in making sure that health and safety is prioritized in a lot of workplaces.

An ASME "U" stamp designates a vessel as a "pressure vessel" as defined and regulated by ASME codes
Simply, A105 is an ASTM standard for a ratedsteel where SA105 is the ASME standard for (nominally the same) rated steel. Basically, they are the same, although SA105 has additional applications beyond A105 according to ASME standards.
U and R stamps are ASME codes certification Stamps, qualifying organisations for the manufacture(ie fabrication) and repair and/or alteration of pressure vessels-in line with ASME boiler and pressure vessel codes(check ASME IX, ASMEViii Div 1). The U stamp is for fabrication of pressure vessels and the R stamp is for repair and/or alteration of pressure vessels. These are stamped on the finished work signifying complete compliance with the code requirements. (Contribution from Michael Obinna Okoye odu-Nigeria)

What is difference between ASME B16 & ASME B16.5 Flange
OSHA has the legal authority to enforce only those standards it issues. It has no authority to enforce ASME Standards, unless they have been incorporated by reference in a Standard issued by OSHA.

OSHA is a federal agency and has juristiction over county health departments.

An OSHA Recordable incident is one that is work related and that involves medical treatment beyond the application of first aid. So some incidents requiring medical treatment are OSHA recordable and some are not.
ASME was created in 1880.
The ASME U stamp designates an unfired pressure vessel of more than 35 gallons (4.68 cu. ft.) has been built to ASME Code specifications, under ASME Code section 8. A U-1 form must be filed and signed by the authorized inspector for each and every pressure vessel built. The ASME U2 stamp is for unfired pressure vessels not built to ASME section 8 div. 1 standards, but under the alternative rules, has been inspected and found to comply with acceptable construction methods. A U-1 form signed by an authorized inspector must be filed for each such vessel, along with a description of the methods of construction used. The ASME U3 stamp is for high pressure (over 600 psi?) unfired pressure vessels. The ASME UM stamp is for pressure vessels less than 35 gallons capacity.
The PN16 flange is equivalent to either the ASME 150 or 300. The PN is related to Nominal Pressure and the ASME is the standard for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
Schedule 80 means "Pipe Wall Thickness as per Sch.80 of ASME B36.10M". Pipe 80 means "3 inch NPS or 80 mm NB pipe as per ASME B36.10M". Hope that it will answer your query adequately. Regards, Bhatta
