In a word: yes. Apparently, the act of testing it for one exceeds the operation limits and makes it "unsafe" for the other. Or something.

But am I wrong in saying that HSE-certified bottles are accepted in the US, since they accept HSE standards, but not the other way around? If that is the case, get it tested to HSE and you should still be legal to use on either side of the pond.

Close enough, but the second paragraph is a little out....HSE bottles in test can be used in the states ...but by visiting nationals ONLY (for a currently in date dual tested bottle this would mean the bottle checkers will check the test that is valid for the country you are in but only when both the dual test dates are in sync after that time it will be interesting to say the least)...as an american living there and to use a HSE is not allowed...they "allow" the different test in the same way as we do in this country...though whats gonna happen when the Mill's start will be anyones guess as the rumour was that NO DOT bottles allowed but I suspect that will change if in fact the annoucement was true...personally I think it was a misheard conversation saying that NO DOT bottles will be allowed IF the user is english..we will see ;)

So that's basically the same as an american using a DOT bottle here then?

But is it still true that if you get the bottle retested to one standard, it won't pass under the other?

Rabies:

Correct on both points...

If you're a Brit visiting the US, you can use your HSE tested bottle and if you're an American visiting GB, you can use your DOT tested bottle. The key word is visiting - any form of long term stay means you have to comply with the local standards.

A dual tested bottle is considered legal for both HSE & DOT up until the time it is tested for one or the other. At that point it is no longer legal at the untested standard and cannot be tested to that standard.
