Authority shall be endorsed to that effect and one copy shall be returned to the applicant and one copy retained by the Authority.
63. No licence shall be granted or renewed by the Authority for the storage in cylinders of any gas unless the Authority is satisfied in relation to the store that-
(a) the site of the store and the plan referred to in regulation 62 have been approved by him and the construction of the store conforms with the plan; and
(b) the store is provided with such fire extinguishing equipment as
be may require.
64. No person shall use, or cause or permit to be used, for the storage of any gas, any cylinder or other container except of a type appropriate to the storage of such gas and approved by the Authority.
65. Without prejudice to the requirements of any other regulation relating to marking or labelling, no person shall—
(4) store any cylinder containing any gas or cause or permit any
such cylinder to be stored, or
(b) fill any cylinder with any gas or cause or permit any cylinder
to be so filled.
unless the cylinder is painted in accordance with the colours recommend- ed from time to time by the British Standards Institution and promulgated in that Institution's publication entitled British Standards Specification No. 349, or the head of the cylinder is painted conspicuously-
(1) red, if the gas contained or to be contained therein is in-
Aammable, or
(ii) yellow, if the gas contained or to be contained therein is
poisonous, or
(iii) as to one half red and the other half yellow, if the gas contained or to be contained therein is both inflammable and poisonous: Provided that the provisions of this regulation shall not apply to any cylinder which is in the Colony by reason only that it is in course of transit from one place outside the Colony to another place outside the Colony.
66. (1) No person shall use any cylinder, or cause or permit any cylinder to be used, to contain any permanent or liquefied gas unless such cylinder has beeo tested and examined within the preceding five years by a person approved by the Authority for that purpose.
(2) Every cylinder shall be tested-
(a) in the case of a cylinder for any permanent gas-
(i) by hydraulic stretch test to a pressure of not less that three thousand pounds per square inch, and
33
(ii) by hydraulic pressure test to a pressure of not less than two thousand eight hundred and fifty pounds per square inch;
(b) in the case of a cylinder for carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide. ethylene or monochlorotrifluoromethane (Arcton 13. Freon 13)
(D) by hydraulic stretch test to a pressure of not less than three thousand three hundred and sixty pounds per square inch, and
(ii) by hydraulic pressure test to a pressure of not less than three thousand pounds per square inch;
(c) in the case of liquefied petroleum gas-
() if the vapour pressure at 100° Fahrenheit (37.8" Centi- grade) does not exceed seventy pounds per square inch, by hydraulic pressure test to a pressure of not less than two hundred and ten pounds per square inch, and
(ii) if the vapour pressure at 100° Fahrenheit (37.8° Centi- grade) exceeds seventy pounds per square inch, by hydraulic pressure lest to a pressure of not less than five hundred and forty pounds per square inch;
(d) in the case of a cylinder for any liquefied gas, other than a gas mentioned in sub-paragraph (b) or (c), by hydraulic pressure test in each case to a pressure of not less than one and one third times the working pressure, if any, specified in the third column of the table to paragraph (2) of regulation 70 for the gas for which such cylinder is intended; and
(e) in the case of a cylinder in respect of which permission is granted by the Authority pursuant to the provisions of regula- tion 69 to exceed the filling pressures specified in that regula- tion, such hydraulic stretch test or hydraulic pressure test, or both, as the Authority may require either generally or in any particular case.
(3) Prior to any test referred to in paragraph (2) the cylinder shall be cleaned and examined externally and, so far as is practicable, in- ternally for the presence of surface defects, corrosion and foreign matter.
(4) Where excessive internal rust or foreign matter is observed the cylinder shall not be refilled until such rust or foreign matter has been removed,
(5) After testing pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) and before refilling, the cylinder shall be stamped in such manner as to indicate by whom and on what date the testing was carried out and the pressures to which the cylinder was subjected at each test performed.
