4 Segregation of cylinders prior to filling
4.1 General
Cylinders shall be checked and segregated into the categories specified in 4.2 to 4.4.
A flow diagram of the checks before, during and after filling is given in Annex B.

b) the tare indication and water capacity are marked,
c) the allowed quantity and identification of the product (butane, propane or mixtures thereof, the properties
of which were considered for the design of the cylinder) are indicated,
d) the cylinder is within the test date as determined from the marked manufacturer or periodic inspection
date
and
e) the cylinder does not have defects as described in 4.4. The inspection of the foot-ring for corrosion or
damage shall determine the need for a more thorough external visual examination of the cylinder base.
