The purpose of the standard is to ensure that valves meet certain performance and quality standards before they are put into service, as well as to ensure that they continue to perform reliably over time.

The standard specifies various testing procedures and acceptance criteria for valves, including hydrostatic shell testing, high-pressure gas testing, low-pressure air testing, and seat leakage testing. It also outlines requirements for documentation and reporting of testing results.
