When conditions require that a pressure test will be maintained for a
period of time during which the testing medium in the system would be
subject to thermal expansion, provision should be made for relief of
excess pressure.

I have no idea about any code requirement but normal practice as per
my experience for Valve Setting Pressure is Test pressure plus
lesser of 10 psi (0.69 Bar a) or 7% of the test pressure
