It's in test until 2010 / 02

Thanks Mate how did you work that out?

It was born 2005/03. First test isnt needed until 5 years after that

the pi symbol "TT" (has a wavy top), and to the right it says 2005/03 which is the born date. It also shows the end date 2020/02 which is 15 years after the born date.

Is it the same with Steel bottles i have one with 2006/03 on it so. does that have 5 years test.

I may sound like a novice in this but my current bottle says on the label when it needs testing

Yep same with steel bottles,

I think hse bottles have a 3 year test life (correct me if im wrong)

So the steel bottle is out of test then if it has a date of 2006/03

when a bottle is made the born date and end date are marked on the bottle. A fibre wrapped bottle has a label laminted on the side, and the steel/aluminium bottles have the details stamped around the neck of the bottle. On the stuck on label of the steel/ally bottles there may also be the next test date.
