How to Check Your CNG Cylinder Expiry Date in Pakistan

OGRA mandates that all CNG cylinders in Pakistan must be tested every 3 years and have a maximum life of 15 years. Here's how to check yours:

Where is the Expiry Date?

  • Look for stampings on the neck/shoulder of the cylinder
  • Format is usually: MM/YY TEST DATE and MFG YEAR
  • For Type-1 steel cylinders: life is 15 years from manufacture
  • Hydrostatic test required every 3 years

What the OGRA Stamp Means

Every OGRA-approved cylinder will have an OGRA certification number, the manufacturer's mark, and the test dates. Never use a cylinder that has an expired test date.

Replacing Your CNG Cylinder

If your cylinder is past the test date or near the 15-year life, replace it immediately. Browse OGRA-approved CNG cylinders at PakAutoMart.
