API 6A Chokes - PR1 / PR2 Tests

Annex F has always been Informative and not Normative. Except for safety valves (SSV, USV, BSDV), which are required to be validated to PR2F per section 14.17.2.3.3 and Table 62, Annex F is only required if specified by the manufacturer or purchaser.

PR1 was removed from Annex F in the 21st Edition because the Annex F PR1 requirements were unclear, didn't add much value, and were likely to result in confusion.

The API 6A PR1 validation requirements are per the manufacturer's procedure.

The relevant validation requirements are in API 6A 21st Edition Section 5.5:

5.5 Design Validation
Manufacturers shall document their design validation procedures and the results of design validation.
Design validation shall be performed in accordance with Annex F when specified by the manufacturer or purchaser.
Additionally, there are performance requirements (for PR1 and PR2) in some of the equipment-specific sections. Most of these requirements are very vague - the equipment is required to be capable of performing a certain number of cycles, but what a "cycle" consists of is not defined.

Hello all,

After i searched about API6A here i found this thread and maybe this thread topic really relevant with my issue.

We already done a validation test accordance with PR1 Annex F when API 6A still 20th edition, now we are creating design file when API 6A already became 21st edition. Obviously if we now apply for certification, the Auditor now will be using API 6A 21st edition as their reference to auditing us.
When we stated in our design validation that we have done validation test using Annex F refers API 6A 20th edition (also we attached objective evidence of test result) but auditor is using 21st edition, does it make a potential to be finding ?

i mean, 20th edition is not prevail now but still in our design validation we stated 20th edition in it, do we need make other document like gap analysis between 20th and 21st to argue Auditor that our validation test still met with API 6A 21st edition ?

May someone give me an advise about this ?
