BS EN ISO 13769:2018 is intended to be applied at the time of cylinder manufacture. However, it may be applied by the cylinder user during use operations, e.g. the stamping of “empty weight” (item 10 in Figures C1 C2 and C-3) on cylinders not so marked at the time of manufacture. It is also intended to be applied at the time of periodic inspection.
Some stamp markings include the year and month. The order of these time elements is given with the most significant digits (the year) to the left, in accordance with the rules given in ISO 8601.
