ISO 10497:2010 specifies fire type-testing requirements and a fire type-test method for confirming the pressure-containing capability of a valve under pressure during and after the fire test. It is not applicable to the testing requirements for valve actuators other than manually operated gear boxes or similar mechanisms when these form part of the normal valve assembly. Other types of valve actuators (e.g. electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic) can need special protection to operate in the environment considered in this valve test, and the fire testing of such actuators is outside the scope of ISO 10497:2010.

Industrial valves are not an entity of fire hazards. For valves used in the oil and gas industries, the American Petroleum Institute(API) has developed fire tests. After years of refinement, API 607, ISO 10497, API 6FA, BS 6755, and BS 5146 have been accepted as the standards of fire tests of valves. There are a few other standards and procedures like API RP6F, FM 6033, Exxon BP3-14-1, OCMA FSV-1, etc. Using these standards as guidelines, many organizations make their own internal procedure for fire-safe valves.A universally accepted firefighting strategy mentions that if a fire is not beaten in one-half hour, a withdrawal and containment policy is instituted. Structural failures like flange bolt failures, pipe rack collapse, and concrete eruptions will occur. Based on this concept, a fire test duration of one-half hour (30 minutes) has been established.


While API fire testing standards are written considering both the upstream (well head) and downstream (refinery) segments differently, ISO originally adopted API 6FA, an upstream segment fire testing standard to create ISO 10497. With recent updates, the most current edition of ISO 10497 is more equivalent to API-607 (refining segment) and is different than API 6FA testing requirements.


Valve manufacturers often choose to dual certify their valve testing when the testing requirements overlap or are in close proximities. Until 2004, API 6FA and ISO 10497 were considered equivalent standards so the tests could have been dual certified to meet both. Now, the API 607 and ISO 10497 current standard editions are mirror like, so valve testing can be dual certified to meet both test standards.


ISO 10497:2004 specifies fire type-testing requirements and a fire type-test method for confirming the pressure-containing capability of a valve under pressure during and after the fire test. It does not cover the testing requirements for valve actuators other than manually operated gear boxes or similar mechanisms when these form part of the normal valve assembly. Other types of valve actuators (e.g. electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic) may need special protection to operate in the environment considered in this valve test, and the fire testing of such actuators is outside the scope of this International Standard. 2ff7e9595c
