that country. In any case, it should
be remembered that the life of the
cylinders is 20 years from the pro-
duction date as set out in ECE Reg-
ulation no. 110.

Each methane cylinder is identified in the
factory with a stamp on the nose of the
cylinder.
This stamp contains:

FABER(name of the cylinder manufac-
turer);
/
/ (cylinder regis-
tration number);
L(nominal cylinder capacity in litres);
KG(weight of the cylinder in kg: spe-
cific for each cylinder);
20.0MPa15°C(operating pressure at
15 °C);
30.0MPa(cylinder test pressure);
