This document provides requirements for retesting and inspecting compressed gas cylinders according to their DOT specification. It lists the DOT specification number for different types of cylinders, along with the minimum retest pressure and retest period required for each specification. For example, DOT specification 2 cylinders must be retested at a minimum pressure of 500 psi every 5 years.
