Control Valve Handbook | Chapter 9: Standards and Approvals

9.1 Control Valve Standards 9.1.3 European Committee for

Numerous standards are applicable to
control valves. International and global
standards are becoming increasingly
important for companies that
participate in global markets. Following
is a list of codes and standards that have
been or will be important in the design
and application of control valves.
