The control of containers installed in series may be limited to one prototype. The approval of
the prototype is given by an environmental expert accredited in the discipline containers for
gases or hazardous substances, of which the accreditation allows the approval of prototypes.
The report on this approval mentions the controls carried out and must be signed by the aforementioned
expert.
§ 2. For each container the operator must dispose of a "declaration of conformity of the container"
