examined by means of suitable testing methods, in
order to ensure the operating safety.
After having reached the total permissible number of
load cycles, the vessel must be exchanged and
scrapped.
Record the number of load cycles in writing if you do not
have an automatic cycle-counter.
We recommend that aluminium vessels should be
exchanged after 15 years at the latest.
Please pay attention to and follow these measures, for
your own safety and that of you employees and cus­
tomers!
In order not to unnecessarily load the pressure vessels
additionally, the non-return valves, that are meant to
avoid a drop in pressure, and also the pressure maintain­
ing valves, which should reduce big pressure fluctu­
ations as well, should be checked regularly for internal
and external tightness and functionality.
•
Check the pressure vessels regularly on the inside and
outside for damage from corrosion.
•
Be particularly careful with second-hand pressure
vessels, when their previous operating mode is not spe­
cifically clarified.
2.4. SAFETY REGULATIONS (EC; partly Germany,
only)
A compressor is identified by German law as being a filling
system if pressure cylinders are filled by the system, es­
pecially when these cylinders are made available for third
parties. The start-up and operation of compressor systems
for use as filling stations is governed by the following re­
gulations:
Pressure vessel directive (Directive 97/23/EC) of
29.05.1997
Operating safety regulations (BetrSichV) of
27.09.2002
Machine safety law (GSG) of 11.05.2001
14th regulation to machine safety law (14. GSGV -
pressure vessel regulation) of 03.10.2002
Technical regulations for pressure gases (TRG 400,
401, 402, 730).
If a high pressure compressor is used for filling pressure
vessels or for the supply of pneumatic systems, the follow­
ing regulations apply:
Accident Prevention Regulations (UVV):
BGV A1 of 01. January 2004
Copies of the above regulations are available through the
usual outlets, e.g. in Germany from:

The manufacturer has complied with all applicable regula­
tions and the unit is prepared accordingly. If desired, we
offer at our Munich site a partial acceptance test according
to § 14 BetrSichV. Please contact our Technical Service De­
partment with regard to this. They can also supply our
leaflet
“IMPORTANT NOTES FOR CERTIFICATION” .
According to the operation safety regulations (BetrSichV),
all compressor units which will be used as filling stations
must undergo an acceptance test by a professional at their
location before bringing them into service. If pressure
vessels (bottles) are to be filled by the compressor for a third
party then the appropriate permission must be obtained
from the responsible authority before the acceptance test.
As a rule, this is the factory inspectorate. The procedure for
obtaining permission is according to TRG 730, guidelines
for permission to set up and operate filling stations. The test
certificates and documents delivered with the compressor
are important and may be requested during the procedure
for obtaining permission. In addition, the documents be­
longing to the unit are important for recurrent inspections
and should therefore be carefully kept.
Inspections in accordance with the regulations for preven­
tion of accidents will be carried out by the manufacturer or
by a specialist.
No guarantees whatsoever are valid for damage caused or
favoured by the non-consideration of these directions for
use.
We strongly emphasize these regulations.
