This International Standard specifies examinations and tests that a valve manufacturer needs to act upon in
order to establish the integrity of the pressure boundary of an industrial metallic valve and to verify the degree
of valve closure tightness and the structural adequacy of its closure mechanism. This International Standard is
to be applied in conjunction with the specific requirements of a valve product standard to the extent cited by
the product standard as a normative reference. Where requirements of a product standard differ from those
given in this International Standard, the requirements of the product standard apply.
This International Standard does not cover safety aspects of pressure testing.
