Does anyone know what the stardard (if one exists) is for PRVs having to be recertified before being put into normal service.

RE: Pressure Relief Valves Pre-Service
Details please?!
A PRV would originally (if at all) be set, certified and a certificate would be issued and follow the valve. The valve would in some cases be plombed against tampering.
The general conditions for certificate and valve would have to be compared to the rules and necessary certification and approvals required for the local use, both for the valve and the total plant.
Sorry about the roundabout answer, I do not think you will find a general standard, valid all over the world, for all cases.
RE: Pressure Relief Valves Pre-Service
I was just curious if someone may have known of a governing body that sets a strict guideline for valves sitting, waiting to be installed. I browsed through API and ABSA (our local boilermakers).The bulk of the data is for valves that are already in service.
Thanks anyway Gerhardl!
