Cylinder markings and testing in France?

[Subcooled]

French clarifications clarified it to two years + Chosen Ones, finnish clarifications clarified it to ten years and no visual inspections, and the swedes clarify that it is really five years. Don't we all just love this... harmonization?

2 years between hydro?! Is there any evidence that the previous time frames were unsafe? With countries doing things differently, it should be noticeable when a safety threshold is crossed, no? I think in many cases, the industry pushes for rules that are more profitable for them and have nothing to do with safety.

However there are exceptions if the people are dully accrediated to extend that period to 5 years. There are of course discussions as to determine who is dully accredited

Some divers attend a specific 3 days course, and they usually end with the delivery of that accreditation.
The inspection process goes beyond what one would usually think of. However, if you want your cylinders to benefit the 5 years period between each hydrostatic test, you must enlist them in some club inventory (of course, they remain your property).

So it is not enough to be a certified SDI/TDI vip-specialist and inspect and mark the cylinders? The cylinders must belong to an inventory of a dive club? In which country? Can it be a finnish caving clubs inventory?
