Trending and evaluation must support the determination that the valve or group of valves is capable of performing its intended function(s) over the entire interval. At least one of the Appendix II condition monitoring activities for a valve group must be performed on each valve of the group at approximate equal intervals not to exceed the maximum interval shown in the following table:
Group size Table 3 to Paragraph (b)(3)(iv)-Maximum Intervals For Use When Applying Internal Extensions Maximum interval between activities of member valves in the groups (years) 4.5 4.5 6
Not applicable Maximum interval between activities of each valve in the group (years) 16 12 12 10
