BS EN ISO 10497:2010

What is ISO 10497 - Testing of valves about?   

ISO 10497 is a series on testing of valves. Valves need to conform to certain leakage standards and various other checks are also carried out. ISO 10497 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. Fire test certificates of valves previously tested according to previous editions of ISO 10497 and to similar internationally recognized fire test standards are also acceptable.  
Note 1: ISO 10497 is not applicable to the testing requirements for valve actuators other than manually operated gearboxes or similar mechanisms when these form part of the normal valve assembly. 
Note 2: Other types of valve actuators (for example, 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 .
