HPA - Bottle Dates

[Tankeyone]

I have used the search function trying to find answers to my questions, but have as yet been unable to find what i'm looking for. If i've missed a thread answering my question then please point me in the right direction.

I have a fibre wrap 68cu Macdev bottle that i purchased secondhand a couple of months ago.

My questions are; Are there a set of numbers on the bottle that relate to when the bottle was last tested? or are there supposed to be numbers stating when it should be tested next?

Is the labeling the same for all fibre bottles in QLD/AUS?

I know that my bottle has an araldyted (spelling) on test label about the size of a 5c piece next to the big label on the bottle...dont know what other bottles have but it may be safe to assume they have a similar label put on when they are hydro'd ....give macdev a call just to be on the safe side dude HPA is scary:respekt:

I think bottles need to be tested every 3 years, (don't quote me about that) cost about $20 to get it Hydro tested, then they stamp it and U have another 3 yrs of life

most are 3 years but the newer bottles are 5 years

Hey guys, forgive me if I'm wrong, but didn't MacDev have a batch of bottles that were bad that needed to be recalled, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Again, if I'm off target, please correct me as I don't wanna bive Tankeyone a bum steer and get him all scared...:confused:
