In the USA DOT (Dept of Transportation) has jurisdiction over portable propane cylinders.
Propane TANKS (permanently mounted in Motorhomes) are ASME jurisdiction as outlined by NFPA (National Fire Prevention Association)
In Canada
Portable cylinders must be inspected and requalified every 10 years – it is against the law to fill an outdated cylinder.
The requalification of a cylinder must be done by organizations that have the appropriate equipment, training and certification to do so, and have been certified by Transport Canada to do the work.
Inspection and requalification requirements for TANKS differ by jurisdiction, tank size and tank design.
Tanks are regulated by provincial and territorial authorities.
Yes there are Propane TANKS and then there are Propane CYLINDERS --
not to be confused (mounted/portable)
