What is required for containers that are repaired after being involved in a fire?

Containers that have been repaired after a fire must undergo reexamination to ensure their safety and integrity. This process is crucial because a fire can significantly affect a container's structural integrity and its ability to safely hold propane under pressure.

Reexamination involves a comprehensive assessment that may include methods such as visual inspection, pressure testing, and other appropriate evaluations based on the extent of the fire damage. The goal is to confirm that the container meets the required safety standards and is fit for continued use.

While replacement, repainting, and resealing may be relevant in certain contexts, they do not address the critical concern of inspecting and ensuring the overall safety of the container after it has been exposed to high temperatures and potential deformation from the fire. Reexamination is thus the essential step to ensure compliance and safety for handling propane after repairs following a fire incident.
