Water boiler tank an automatic pressure release valve


Is there an automatic  pressure release valve for a water boiler  tank, I guess if some thing goes wrong and the thermostat malfunctions it can easily explode.

I recently installed a new tank and the plumber who did the job attached an external safety valve, which supposed to release extra pressure in case of thermostat malfunction. As I understood, this kind of valve is a standard today, so I doubt if there are any tanks with internal valve.
