-  is only applicable to cylinders which are fitted with a pressure relief valve (see 4.1.3);
-  is applicable to cylinders with a liner of metallic material (welded or seamless) or non-metallic material (or a mixture thereof), reinforced by fibres of glass, carbon or aramid (or a mixture thereof);
