For respective results, see Annex A. Valves classified in Article 4 (3) of the European legislation for pressure equipment, are excluded from conformance to requirements of this standard but shall meet the “sound engineering practice” by conformity to the relevant product standard." 5 Requirements 5.1 Design 5.1.1 General Valves shall meet the design requirements of this standard and the ones referenced in Annex ZA of their relevant European harmonized standards. NOTE Annex D contains a summary of European harmonized Standard for valves. The manufacturer shall conduct a hazard analysis for the intended use and for the reasonably foreseeable conditions. It is recommended to have this hazard analysis documented. If the manufacturer identifies hazards which apply to the valve the manufacturer shall take account of his analysis by appropriate measures in order to reduce or eliminate the hazard identified. 5.1.2 Shell design strength The shell design strength shall be determined by the following: a) for steel valves designed by the tabulation method: according to EN 12516-1:2014; b) for steel valves designed by calculation: according to EN 12516-2:2014; c) for copper alloy, aluminium and cast iron valves: according to EN 12516-4:2014; d) if the shell strength resistance is validated by an experimental method: according to EN 12516-3:2002. SIST EN 16668:2016+A1:2018

Obturator strength If a pressure related hazard is identified in relation with the obturator of the valve (for example in valves used as end of line service), P 20 Test of EN 12266–2:2012 is required in addition. EN 12266–2:2012, Annex A, A.2, Test P 20 5.6 Marking Marking shall be in accordance with !EN 19:2016"and the relevant harmonized European product standards. 5.7 Surface and coating testing Protective coating or special surface treatment shall be inspected or tested in accordance with the purchaser specification. 5.8 Documentation 5.8.1 Documentation for final inspection In general the following technical documents shall be available as appropriate: — evidence of qualification of NDT personnel relevant to the equipment category; — evidence of qualification of permanent joining personnel relevant to the equipment category; — data dealing with heat treatment (e.g. diagram of temperatures); — inspection documents for base materials and welding consumables; — procedures for assuring material traceability; — NDT test reports, including radiographic films; — test reports of destructive tests (e.g. test coupons); SIST EN 16668:2016+A1:2018

Classification of valves For all valves covered by the product standards listed in Table A.1 nominal size (DN), maximum allowable pressure (PS) and the fluid group are considered as appropriate for valve classification as shown in Tables A.2 to A.5. Consequently, the maximum !deleted text" category for these valves ends up in category III even when installed in a higher categorized pressure equipment. !NOTE For valves not covered by product standards listed in Table A.1 it is the manufacturer's responsibility to consider either the volume (V) or the nominal size (DN) for the classification of the valve. In case a valve is used as safety accessory or part of, category IV can be requested." The value PS (maximum allowable pressure), for PN designated valves PS is equal to PN, is the value specified in EN 12516-1:2014 or by the manufacturer. Valves, which shall be used both for liquid and for gaseous fluids, shall be classified for gaseous fluids. Valves, which shall be used both for fluids of Fluid Group 1 and fluids of Fluid Group 2, shall be classified in Fluid Group 1.
