Check the latest cylinder hydrostatic test date to ensure it is current. All breathing
air cylinders must be visually inspected regularly and hydrostatically tested by a
licensed cylinder retester in accordance with the appropriate US Department of
Transportation (DOT) specification or applicable DOT exemption, or in
accordance with the appropriate Transport Canada (TC) Permit of Equivalent
Level of Safety. The date of manufacture marked on the cylinder is also the date of
the first hydrostatic test. For other breathing air cylinders, consult the cylinder
manufacturer’s recommendations and the requirements of the appropriate national
regulatory agencies. It is the responsibility of your organized respiratory protection
program to arrange for visual inspection and hydrostatic testing of cylinders by a
licensed retester. See
