Anyone work with CO2 cylinders/sales
Discussion
Need to understand the TRUE law in regard to filling cylinders and cylinder ownership.
Company I know was filling any cylinders offfered - from BOC to Air Liquid to dodgy fish tank untested type bottles.
They had some bottles retested by a "commercial" tester, but the cyclinders are still engraved with another companies details.
The tester said that evryone nicks everyone elses cylinders and thats ok...
But it just not...
Id like to find the truth in black and white to prove to this compnay that altho they paid to refurb the bottles, they dont belong to them.....
If that makes sense.

As far as I know BOC cylinders are on a rental basis only, might be the same for air liquide too.
Normally the cylinders are refilled by the company that rents them out.
There are laws (TPED) that require a hydrostatic test every ten years. The rental company should be keeping in top of this as well.

Used to work with compressed air co.
Cylinders are nearly always only rented out meaning someone will either be paying for them or has paid a lost fee for them. (Lost ones do turn up periodically from different sources)
Anything that was taken out of service with us was rendered unusable.

The bigger gas companies have staff that go round the place hunting for cylinders that the user can't show have been sourced officially - i.e. rented
BOC/Linde calls them Field Cylinder Officers
There are various bits of legislation and codes of practice about filling cylinders that are covered in these (and other) publications by the British Compressed Gas Association)

I suspect that at least one of the bigger companies knows of the existence of this 'rogue' filling operation already
