Default The unvented cylinder annual inspection myth?

I can't find any evidence that unvented cylinders require an annual
inspection.


Given their explosive potential in an overheat situation and a stuck
pressure relief valve, don't you sleep a little easier if it's been
inspected regularly? ;-)

It doesn't seem to be law but just prudent. *http://yaph.co.uk/unvented/

If you buy a good quality cylinder (I'm going to get an Oso) and have
the appropriate safety ancillaries installed I can't see the point in
wasting time and money on an annual inspection by someone who has gone
on a 0.5 day "course".

I became curious about this as it is supposedly one of the benefits of
a thermal store that annual certificated inspection isn't mandatory.
Yet another non-reason to get a thermal store!
