I have several questions about tank markings.

1: Which are actually regulated outside the scuba industry ? I know Hydro
dates and the stamp are controlled by the government. In other words which
markers are legally required ?

2: Are there any international marking standards ? If I travel with a tank
through customs what is expected ? Does green and yellow mean Nitrox every
where?

3: Are there any regulations on Argon cylinders ?

4: What is required on a VIP and O2 clean sticker ? Can one fill station
refuse to honor a sticker because it is from another agency or country ?


I have been reading the E-mails and see valid points all through the
discusion. I am trying to sort out what is on my tanks because of govt
regulations, which are scuba politics and what would work best for my style
of diving.

These discussions are rather opinionated and heated.

As a travelling diver, I will eventually run into fill stations and charter
captains that require one set of markings or another.

I am seeing a need for a broader education on this topic.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mike J
