Use of Safety Restraints on HP Lines

What are the requirements of Safety Standards with respect to the use of safety restraints to secure high pressure treating lines?

If the use of cable type restraints to contain a catastrophic treating line failure during an energized fluid treatment are mandatory ?

If testing and inspection of HP lines are enough to be a proactive measure to reduce the risk of failure of high pressure treating lines? e.g use all chicksans are above minimum wall thickness , all welds are X- ray and MPI inspected , no threaded connections are used and all hammer union are 1502 only

Please revert with your opinion on this matter . Personally I am in favour of having a safety wire in place
