# §250.820. Use of SSVs.


You must install, maintain, inspect, repair, and test all SSVs in accordance with API Standard 6AV2 (incorporated by reference, see [§ 250.198](/cfr/30/250.198.md)). If any SSV does not operate properly, or if any gas and/or liquid fluid flow is observed during the leakage test as described in [§ 250.880](/cfr/30/250.880.md), then you must shut-in all sources to the SSV and repair or replace the valve before resuming production.
