This is an advisory note on some work the FRA governing body will be working on at a conveniant time in 2008.

The FRA governing body will be looking at pressure vessel certification in line with the EC pressure vessel directive.

This will be carried out in two parts.

1, CO2 vessels
2, Buffer tanks.

This thread is for initial discussion.

The advice bit

For you to consider changing out with new any CO2 containers (fire extuingishers)that are over five years old.

CO2 containers have been seen recently at an event that date from as far back as 1992.
Is this good practise considering the duty we ask for from these vessels?
