The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has issued a final rule regarding how certain gas cylinders are inspected and recertified.
Why it matters: This is a technical administrative change that allows businesses to test gas cylinders less often and using different technology. It reduces the frequency of mandatory safety inspections for specific types of gas containers.
Who it affects
- Companies that manufacture, distribute, or use 3A and 3AA specification gas cylinders
This rule was issued by the Department of Transportation’s PHMSA; readers should consult the Federal Register for full technical details before making compliance decisions.
