Safety valves with TÜV-SV.1048 certification

What does TÜV certification mean and why does it matter?

TÜV is the mark of the independent German technical inspection organisations (Technischer Überwachungsverein), which focus on product safety and conformity with European and international standards. In pressure equipment such as safety valves, TÜV certification is an important guarantee that the valve:

• has passed tightness, accuracy and reliability tests,
• has been tested at real working pressure,
• meets the requirements of Directive PED 2014/68/EU,
• is suitable for use in pressure systems throughout the EU and beyond.

The TÜV certificate is therefore an internationally recognised mark of quality and safety.

What does the TÜV-SV.1048 certification type denote?

The TÜV-SV.1048 certification denotes specific approval of safety valves for:

• gaseous and liquid media such as air, inert gases, oils, water or lubricating fluids,
• spring-mechanism designs,
• standard working temperatures,
• use above all in industrial and technical applications.

Valves certified SV.1048 are usually brass or stainless steel, with NBR or PTFE seals. They suit, for example:

• compressor set-ups,
• compressed air networks,
• pneumatic or hydraulic systems,
• smaller pressure vessels,
• lubrication units.

Typically these are compact threaded safety valves in a pressure range from a few bar up to 40 bar.

Advantages of valves certified TÜV-SV.1048

• Guaranteed accuracy of the set pressure thanks to individual adjustment and sealing of the valve.
• Verified reliability and tightness – every valve has passed a TÜV test.
• Easy integration into pressure assemblies – suitable for equipment subject to PED legislation.
• Usable across the EU thanks to standardised marking.
• High compatibility with commonly used media – universal certification.

Recommendations for choosing

We recommend valves with this certification for:

• systems that require official TÜV type approval (during pressure vessel inspections, for example),
• equipment with media such as air, nitrogen, water, oil,
• customers who require full documentation and a guarantee of function, for a safety audit, for instance,
• operations where traceability and unambiguous valve marking matter.

When choosing a valve, check not only the certification but also the correct set pressure and the thread or flange type. A detailed guide is in our advice section How to choose the right safety valve.
