ISO 16812

ISO 16812:2012 is an international standard that specifies the design, materials, and performance requirements for metallic butterfly valves used in industrial piping systems. These valves are essential components in sectors where control and regulation of fluid flow are critical, including oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, and water treatment industries.

At Quality Asia Certification, we offer ISO 16812 certification services to help manufacturers, exporters, and suppliers demonstrate compliance with globally recognized technical specifications, enabling market access, product reliability, and safety assurance.

What is ISO 16812?

ISO 16812:2012 – Metallic Butterfly Valves for Industrial Use – establishes clear criteria for the design, testing, and material selection of metallic butterfly valves, primarily intended for industrial applications that operate at working temperatures between -10 °C and +120 °C.

This standard is applicable to double flange, wafer, and lug-type valves used to regulate or isolate flow in pipelines. ISO 16812 ensures that valves are not only fit-for-purpose but also capable of enduring the pressure, temperature, and environmental demands of industrial operations.

Why is ISO 16812 important?

Compliance with ISO 16812:2012 demonstrates that your butterfly valves are engineered to meet international performance and durability benchmarks. With global supply chains demanding high standards and regulatory bodies tightening inspection frameworks, certification to this ISO standard enhances:

  1. Market acceptance and export readiness
  2. Trust among industrial buyers and EPC contractors
  3. Alignment with safety, quality, and technical standards

Moreover, it supports manufacturers in meeting contractual, legal, and quality assurance requirements during tendering or vendor registration processes.

What are the benefits of ISO 16812?

  1. Assures performance reliability: Certifies that the valves perform under defined temperature and pressure conditions as per industrial needs.
  2. Boosts product quality: Promotes precision in design, material selection, and performance testing.
  3. Reduces product failures: Minimizes the risk of leakage, rupture, or breakdown under operational stress.
  4. Ensures regulatory compliance: Facilitates adherence to regional and international procurement regulations.
  5. Supports traceability: Offers clear technical documentation and test records for auditing and customer assurance
