Nice try...but you should read what that Ted Johnson Propane Recertification is for.......it isn't for portable propane cylinders. It is for fork lift propane tank recertification as outlined in NFPA 58 (section you referenced and the one Ted Johnson Propane referenced.
2-3.2.5
All cylinders used in industrial truck service (including forklift truck cylinders) shall have the cylinder's pressure relief valve replaced by a new or unused valve within 12 years of the date of manufacture of the cylinders and every 10 years thereafter
Ted Johnson Propane Safety Guide........LINK
The following section from NFPA 58 pertains to portable cylinders (no relief valve testing/replacement required)
C-3.2.1
DOT rules prohibit cylinders from being refilled, continued in service, or transported unless they are properly qualified or requalified for LP-Gas service in accordance with DOT regulations.
C-3.2.4
DOT regulations permit three alternative methods of requalification for most commonly used LP-Gas cylinders.
(c) The recorded visual examination is permitted to be used to requalify cylinders for five years before the next qualification is due provided the cylinder has been used exclusively for LP-Gas commercially free of corroding components.
Cylinders........portable containers
Tanks......permanently mounted
