It includes repair operations and the interface connections to the flow control or other equipment, but does not cover the connections to the well conduit.

NOTE

Limits: The subsurface safety valve is an emergency safety device, and is not intended or designed for operational activities, such as production/injection reduction, production stop, or as a backflow valve.
