Cylinder Testing

Dive 90 is approved to inspect cylinders by the Inspectorate for Diving Equipment Servicing and Testing (IDEST).

Cylinder inspection and testing is carried out in accordance with BS EN 1968 (steel cylinders), BS EN 1802 (aluminium cylinders) and BS EN ISO 11623 (composite cylinders).

Tanks for diving must be tested visually every 2.5 years and hydrostatically every 5 years. Tanks for surface use, for example air rifles, require a test every 5 years.
