API has 2 divisions - Production and refining. API 6FA and 6D are from the division of Production and API 607 and 608 are from the division of refining.

Ball valves/soft seat/300#. Thank you!

API 607 may apply to only soft seated valve, but API 6FA may apply to also metal seated valve.
RE: What is difference in API607 and API6FA?
I suggest that you approach your client with a formal request for deviation to allow you to offer API 607 in lieu of API 6FA. I have done this many times and usually there is no issue but, at the end of the day, it is good for both parties to have a formal document accepting the difference. I would argue that API 607 is the more demanding of the two standards and therefore this request is not unreasonable.
I do not believe that it is possible to perform one fire test will allow you to state that you have achieved compliance to both standards.
RE: What is difference in API607 and API6FA?
Has anyone ever faced a type test according to these latest editions? Are there important differences in respect to the relevant previous editions of both standards?
Thanks to all, 'NGL

API 6FA PALES in comparison to the API 607 Firesafe regulations.
Do the homeworkand see that if a Valve Complies with 607 (4th edition- Basically the Exxon partial burn test) then that valve would LAUGH at meeting 6FA standards.
There is no contest. Show your customer both test qualifications and let him make his own decisions.
