Who must manufacture the cylinder brackets according to standards?

The cylinder brackets must be manufactured by the cylinder manufacturer according to established standards because the safety and compatibility of the brackets with the cylinders are paramount. The cylinder manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that all components of the cylinder system, including brackets, meet the necessary safety and performance standards. These standards often include specifications for material strength, resistance to environmental factors, and overall structural integrity when mounted to a vehicle.

Moreover, having the cylinder manufacturer produce the brackets ensures that the designs are specifically tailored to the characteristics of the cylinders they support, reducing the risk of failures due to improper fitting or inadequate support. This responsibility is crucial in maintaining the integrity and safety of the CNG system.

While vehicle manufacturers and brackets suppliers play important roles in the overall system, it is ultimately the cylinder manufacturer's expertise and adherence to standards that ensure the safety and reliability of the brackets' performance. Local regulatory authorities may set and enforce standards, but they do not manufacture components themselves.
