i knew this question had been asked a few times....so i went and had a look aroundOriginally posted by le-pig
maybe wrong,but i thought it was 5 years for metal tanks and 3 years for fibre tanks
thats what i found under their website under paintball laws.......so if that is wrong.......??????
All Luxfer and SCI bottles HSE-FW2 bottles have been upgraded to 5 year test
The info has probably not been updated on the UKPSF site because they are waiting to get more info on the whole change of specifications that happened last year

So if I have an A.I.R bottle marked HSE-AL-FW2 test date 07/01 its still got two and a half years on it?

Nope sorry at present it's only got 6 months left
H-Pac last year only stated that the extension only applied to Luxfer and SCI bottles not A.I.R. It may have changed in the last 2 months though
But surely the HSE-AL-FW2 bottles are all the same as a standard and the A.I.R have only an aesthitic difference with the black coating?
Thanks anyway dude, I'll get it tested in 6 months.

Nope...it depend on the manufacturer..i think AIR's are made by Carleton...denoted by a C with an L inside..
Yeah thats whats on this one anyways. But surely CL will still comply with HSE spec and make it to the standard HSE-AL-FW2?
If that is a standard I dunno.

Yeah...but...SCI and Luxfer, might make their's to a higher standard and therefore are able to be tested and longer intervals..they comply with the lower standard, but also the higher standard.
