1.2 Proper application
• Safety relief valves protect a pressurized system (tanks, containers, pipelines)
against impermissible pressure exceedance.
• Safety relief valves may be used for the intended purpose only. In this case, special
attention must be paid to the permissible pressure and temperature ranges, the
type of fluids to be discharged and the installation situation.
• Safety relief valves are intended for application in the beverage and food
processing as well as in the chemical-pharmaceutical industries.
• Safety relief valves are subject to the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EC.
• Safety relief valves comply with the requirements of DIN EN ISO 4126-1.

• shut-off devices are installed in front of the safety valves, which can then override
them,

claims.
