some FW2 HSE bottles now 5 years between tests

i think Denn earns the prize for digging up the oldest thread here, lol!
The pi mark has nothing to do with test periods. Thi Pi mark shows it conforms to TPED (Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive) which allows compressed gas cylinders (air and co2 both) to be TRANSPORTED by road/rail in UK and Europe,. Interestingly there is a derrogation to the TPED which allows a bottle solely used in the UK NOT to be pi marked... a mine of (un-)interesting information ain't i? lol!!
Oh and an addendum to the original post which started this thread last year... the 5 year test bottles have an initial (first) test period of 3 years which then is extended to 5 years for subsequent tests, so i believe.
