Hydraulic pressure tests every 3 years at most for fixed and demountable tanks, every 2½ years for tank-containers.

|---|---|
| 3 years | left column: battery-vehicles, demountable tanks, tank-vehicles |
| 2½ years | tank-containers, tank swap bodies and MEGCs (right column) |
Note. Under 6.8.1.1, text set in one column binds only the left-hand group (battery-vehicles, demountable tanks, tank-vehicles) or only the right-hand group (MEGCs, tank swap bodies, tank-containers). Symbols checked against a UTF-8 text extraction of the page.
