Updates to cylinder inspections and current eddy testing and filling station operators are published in the Federal Registor pages 53314 to 53320 and CFR 49 paragraphs 173.302 to 180.209 and update CGR 6.1
probably with in the next 4 month DOT standard will be requiring that shops will be doing Eddy Current Testing along with Visual Inspection due to increased Sustained Load Cracking in the neck and thread areas of Scuba, SCBA and O2 cylinders.
Also for shops doing technical mixes new regulation will be imposed on filling stations and FSO's (filling station operators) as to training of employees and safety divices need during filling.
What I have read thus far it's going to cost some of a little move money, but your SAFETY is at risk
