The hot water tank is manufactured and if the appropriate pressure release valve is installed.
"If" is the problem.The T&P valve should be tested yearly.Most are not and then they become a problem.Many home owners remove them and install a plug or leave them in place and cap the outlet pipe.
Many years ago the tank and T&P valve where sold as separate items.Now some come pre-installed and others come with the heater ,but are not installed.
