How the NCRP works

1

Register

New cylinders pass SON NIS 69 & MANCAP/SONCAP checks before smart QR tagging.

2

Identify

The tag links the cylinder to its owner, capacity, and certified test history.

3

Monitor

Digital waybills record custody and refill authorizations across the value chain.

4

Requalify

Mandatory 5-year hydrostatic testing at SON-accredited ARFs recertifies safety.

5

Withdraw

Compromised or aged vessels are de-tagged and scrapped under SON oversight.
