All safety valves of each boiler shall be tested annually in accordance with what guidelines?

The annual testing of safety valves for each boiler is performed in accordance with the planned maintenance system. This system provides a structured approach to maintenance, ensuring that all equipment, including safety valves, adheres to predetermined schedules and procedures to maintain operational integrity and safety standards.

Utilizing a planned maintenance system helps ensure consistency and thoroughness in testing. It organizes the maintenance activities, prioritizes tasks, and tracks compliance with regulatory standards, thereby reducing the risk of failures and enhancing safety. This system is essential not only for compliance with existing safety regulations but also for maintaining the efficiency and reliability of the equipment. The incorporation of such a system ensures that safety valves are not only tested regularly but also that the results are documented and analyzed for any necessary further action.

Other guidelines, while relevant in their own right, may not offer the same systematic approach specifically tailored to the operational needs and compliance requirements of the organization.
