This part of IEC 60534 specifies the requirements for the inspection and routine testing of
control valves manufactured in conformity with the other parts of IEC 60534.
This standard is applicable to valves with pressure ratings not exceeding Class 2500. The
requirements for actuators apply only to pneumatic actuators.
This standard does not apply to the types of control valves where radioactive service, fire
safety testing, or other hazardous service conditions are encountered. If a standard for
hazardous service conflicts with the requirements of this standard, the standard for hazardous
service should take precedence.
