The HMR (Hzardous Material Regulations) provides that a DOT-3HT specification cylinder is authorized for aircraft use only...
For reasons of safety, it is at the discretion of an authorized retester whether it will accept a cylinder for requalification and perform a hydrostatic retest on the cylinder. We do not recommend retest of such cylinders that are used in unauthorized cylinder service, and suggests that you inform your customers.
