All markings, including requalification date (month/year), must be permanently placed on the cylinder per DoT-SP 16320. In addition, each cylinder must be marked “MAE”, in characters not less than ¼”. The marking of the RIN on the cylinder certifies compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the SP.
