API 6D (Pipeline and Piping Valves) specifies gate, plug, ball, and check valves for pipeline service. The standard covers design, materials, dimensions, testing, and documentation. All isolation valves on a pipeline must be API 6D certified; this is a contractual requirement in ONGC, GAIL, and most oil company pipeline standards.

A fire-safe valve maintains seat sealing integrity and stem packing containment in the event of an external fire (tested per API 607 / API 6FA). This prevents a valve leak from feeding a hydrocarbon fire. Fire-safe design is mandatory for all valves handling flammable hydrocarbons under Indian OISD standards and most international oil company specifications.
