What condition would trigger safety and relief valve test instead of the calendar?

Partly. Acoustic monitoring detects a passing or lifting valve and the set pressure can be verified in place with a lift-assist device, which can extend the interval where the written scheme allows.

What evidence does safety and relief valve test produce for an ISO 55001 or ISO 45001 audit?

Test certificate per valve with set and reseat pressures and the next test date

Safety and relief valve test

Q: Can safety and relief valve test move from a fixed interval to a condition-based check?

Statutory: the interval is set by law or a statutory code and stays on the calendar. Test intervals are set by the pressure system's written scheme of examination (PSSR in the UK), AS/NZS 3788 and API 576 practice; the competent person can extend them on evidence, but not remove them.

The valve is the last line before a vessel fails. Its interval is set by the written scheme and the competent person; give them the acoustic and lift-assist data and let them extend it.

What does a safety and relief valve test involve?

Safety and relief valve test checks: set pressure, reseat pressure, seat tightness, lift-assist test result. Observed by lift-assist testing in situ or bench test; acoustic monitor for passing. Test intervals are set by the pressure system's written scheme of examination (PSSR in the UK), AS/NZS 3788 and API 576 practice; the competent person can extend them on evidence, but not remove them.

Condition that replaces the interval: Partly. Acoustic monitoring detects a passing or lifting valve and the set pressure can be verified in place with a lift-assist device, which can extend the interval where the written scheme allows.
Reading that proves it: Set pressure, reseat pressure, seat tightness, lift-assist test result
Why the interval stays: Test intervals are set by the pressure system's written scheme of examination (PSSR in the UK), AS/NZS 3788 and API 576 practice; the competent person can extend them on evidence, but not remove them.
Evidence an auditor accepts: Test certificate per valve with set and reseat pressures and the next test date
First move: Tag every safety valve with its set pressure and test date; an untagged valve is an unproven one.
