Summary
In short
- A safety device test record is a record used in KnowMaintain that tests safety devices such as relief valves, trips and interlocks to prove they operate at their set point. It is built against IEC 61511, ASME BPVC and forms part of the Calibration and Measurement programme.
- Run to the statutory or risk based interval. Carried out by a competent technician.
- The template holds 46 fields across 3 sections.
- Scoring is pass or fail, where high is good.
- ASME BPVC is boiler and pressure vessel code. Design, fabrication and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels.
- It connects to the rest of the library: links Asset, Critical Control.
What it is
What it is
What is a safety device test record?
A safety device test record is a record used in KnowMaintain that tests safety devices such as relief valves, trips and interlocks to prove they operate at their set point. It is built against IEC 61511, ASME BPVC and forms part of the Calibration and Measurement programme.
When is a safety device test record completed?
A safety device test record is completed at the moment the event happens, rather than reconstructed afterwards. Run to the statutory or risk based interval.
When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This record is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this record covers has occurred, or is about to
- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form SDT-2026-000
- You are running the Calibration and Measurement programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links asset, critical control
Not for
- Maintenance Calibration Record, which records calibration of maintenance instruments such as torque wrenches, pressure gauges and multimeters.
- Instrument Loop Check, which verifies a control instrument reads correctly from sensor through to display or control system.
- Calibration Schedule Review, which reviews whether calibration intervals are still appropriate based on drift history.
- Anything outside KnowMaintain, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the safety device test record template based on?+
It is built against IEC 61511, ASME BPVC. ASME BPVC is boiler and pressure vessel code. Design, fabrication and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels. ASME is american Society of Mechanical Engineers. Mechanical engineering codes, mainly pressure equipment and lifting.
What sections does the safety device test record contain?+
There are 3 sections: header, test, outcome. Together they hold 46 fields, 32 of which are required.
How often is a safety device test record raised?+
A new record is raised at the moment the event happens, rather than reconstructed afterwards. Each one is given an ID in the form SDT-2026-000, so it can be traced and referenced from other records.
Which programme does the safety device test record belong to?+
It is part of Calibration and Measurement. Traceable calibration with a defined response when an instrument fails its check.
How is a safety device test record scored?+
Scoring is pass or fail. High is good. Scores exist to make the form tell you something, not to produce a percentage for its own sake.
Can the safety device test record template be changed?+
Yes. Every field, option, score and conditional rule is editable, and the links to other templates come with it. Most teams install it as it is, run it for a cycle, then adjust.
The agents
What the agents do with it
The form is the easy part. Keeping it current, routing it to the right owner and holding the evidence together is the work that actually slips.
Holds the safety device test record library against your registers, routes each record to its owner, and keeps the evidence trail together.
Coordinates the crew, rolls completion and exceptions into one view, and holds every write for your approval before it touches a record.
This template lives in KnowMaintain — asset maintenance. Work orders, planned maintenance, calibration, reliability and shutdowns.
