In clause 5.1.4 of 25th edition, it is written that the bolting stress shall not exceed the 0.8 of SMYS at test condition.
What is exactly the test condition is ? Is it the rated pressure as per ASME B16.34 or the hydrostatic shell test pressure ?

It refers to the API 6D hydrostatic shell test condition.
