This document outlines material certification requirements for valves. It groups valve body materials into four groups and specifies the certification level required based on material, size, pressure class, and end connection. Group I is bronze/ductile-cast iron valves and requires level 3 certification. Group II covers various steel and aluminum bronze valves, requiring level 1 or 2 certification depending on size and pressure class. Group III includes high-alloy materials and requires level 1 or 2 certification depending on size and end connection. Group IV covers API 6A valves and requires level 1 certification. It defines the three certification levels and notes additional PO or NACE requirements may apply.
