For a compressor plus air tank setup, are there any specifications regarding the pressure resistance capacity of the air tank and the exhaust pressure of the compressor?

For this setup of compressor + air storage tank, are there any standard specifications regarding the relationship between the pressure-bearing capacity of the air storage tank and the exhaust pressure of the compressor? Is it okay if the compressor’s exhaust pressure is 10 MPa while the design pressure of the air storage tank is 0.6 MPa?
This should work, though it feels like the compressor’s exhaust pressure is overkill for such a setup. It is inevitable that the pressure at the output end of the compressor is higher than that in the air storage tank; when this pressure exceeds the set value specified for the tank, the safety valve will activate, ensuring the safety of the equipment.
No, the pressure in the air storage tank must be higher than the exhaust pressure of the air compressor
Ensure the equipment operates under the most demanding conditions! Design a safety relief device!
The design pressure of the storage tank must be greater than the compressor discharge pressure
It’s definitely not possible; the compressor pressure is higher than that of the storage tank. How can that be?
There must be safety hazards; the compressor outputs 10 MPA, while the air storage tank is designed to handle only 0.6 MPA. Aren’t they worried about the tank exploding? The air storage tank should have a pressure rating of at least 15MPA
