What happens to a propane cylinder that is not recertified within the required time frame?

  1. It can still be used with restrictions

  2. It must be marked as unusable

  3. It can still be filled

  4. It cannot be filled or used

The correct answer is: It cannot be filled or used

When a propane cylinder is not recertified within the required time frame, it is considered unsafe for continued use. This regulatory measure exists to ensure that propane cylinders remain in good condition and free from defects that could lead to leaks or catastrophic failures. As such, the cylinder cannot be filled with propane, rendering it unusable for that purpose. The recertification process typically involves a thorough inspection and testing depending on the specific regulations in place, which may vary depending on the jurisdiction. If a cylinder has surpassed its recertification date, it indicates that it has not undergone the necessary checks, and therefore, it poses a risk to safety. In this context, the other options present situations that do not align with safety protocols. Allowing the cylinder to be filled or used with restrictions contradicts the priority of safety in handling propane cylinders. Similarly, marking it as unusable without preventing its use doesn’t align with the safety standards designed to protect users and prevent accidents.
