the person who carried out the test or the examination shall--
(i) retain the cylinder in his possession, and
(ii) forthwith notify in writing the owner of the cylinder and the Authority of the result of the test or examination.
(2) Upon receipt of any notice pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1), the Authority shall cause the cylinder in question to be destroyed in such manner as he may consider appropriate and may in his discretion recover the whole or any part of any expense incurred thereby from the owner of the cylinder as a civil debt due to the Crown.
69. Except with the permission in writing of the Authority, given either generally or in any particular case, no person shall fill any cylinder, or cause or permit any cylinder to be filled, with any permanent gas to such an extent that the internal pressure on the cylinder at 15.5°C exceeds-
(a) in the case of boron trifluoride, 10 MPa;
(b) in the case of krypton, 12 MPa;
(c) in the case of fluorine, such pressure as the Authority may permit;
(d) in the case of any other permanent gas, 14 MPa; and
(e) in the case of any gas contained in a special light metal cylinder not exceeding a capacity of 600 L of free gas, such pressure as the Authority may prescribe as a condition of the licence required for the filling thereof.
70. (1) No person shall fill any cylinder, or cause or permit any cylinder to be filled, with liquefied gas unless the cylinder has been rendered free from moisture.
(2) No person shall fill any cylinder, or cause or permit any cylinder to be filled, with any liquefied gas specified in the first column of the table to this paragraph in excess of its capacity in litres multiplied by the filling ratio specified in the second column of the table for that gas.
