ISO tanks are built to last, but they require regular inspections to ensure safe and compliant operation. To legally transport chemicals, fuels, gases, and food grade products, periodic ISO tank recertification is mandatory. At Reliance Gas, we provide comprehensive ISO tank recertification services, helping you meet international and UAE regulatory requirements with confidence.
Whether your tank is approaching its 2.5 year, 5 year, or 10 year inspection interval, our experienced team performs complete structural evaluations, testing, and certification to ensure your tank is safe, compliant, and ready for continued service.
What is ISO Tank Recertification?
ISO tank recertification is a formal inspection and testing process that verifies an ISO tank remains suitable for transporting and storing bulk liquids and gases safely. It ensures T11, T50, and T75 ISO tanks continue to comply with international standards, including IMDG, ADR, CSC, and applicable UAE regulations.
When is Recertification Required?
ISO tanks must be recertified periodically, depending on their contents and usage:
- 2.5 years: Intermediate inspection for hazardous chemical tanks
- 5 years: Full periodic inspection (required for all ISO tanks)
- 10 years: Major testing and structural reassessment for long-term use
