One-Year Tank Inspection & B620 Compliance
A one-year tank inspection is the annual certification check required under CSA B620 to keep your tank truck compliant between full five-year cycles. As a B620 certified facility, we perform this B620 annual inspection on petroleum, propane, chemical, and food grade units, covering the external visual and leakage checks your tank needs every twelve months. Book your annual tank inspection below.
What Is a One-Year Tank Inspection?
Unlike the five-year cycle, which opens the tank for internal inspection and hydrostatic testing, a B620 external visual inspection checks the outside of the tank, its fittings, valves, and safety equipment, alongside a tank truck leakage test to confirm nothing is leaking under normal operating pressure. Together, these make up the yearly tanker inspection every CSA B620 tank must pass to stay certified.
One-Year Tank Inspection Requirements
One-year tank inspection requirements apply to every highway tank operating under CSA B620, regardless of product class. B620 annual requirements call for this inspection every twelve months, with documentation kept on file and available for review. Petroleum, propane, chemical, and food grade units, including those built to TC406 spec, all fall under the same annual inspection for TC406 tanks cycle.
What's Included in Our One-Year Inspection
Following our annual tank truck inspection checklist, we check:
-
External Visual Tank Inspection
We examine the tank shell, welds, and fittings for corrosion, damage, or wear. -
B620 Annual External Visual Inspection
We confirm valves, vents, relief devices, and safety equipment are present and functioning. -
Annual Tanker Leak Test
We test fittings and seals under normal operating pressure to confirm there's no leakage. -
Documentation
We log and stamp results, completing your tank truck annual inspection and updating your certification record.
How This Differs From Your 5-Year Inspection
A tank truck annual leakage test Canada requires every year is lighter than the five-year cycle. The one-year inspection covers the outside of the tank and its fittings, while the five-year inspection adds internal visual inspection, thickness testing, and hydrostatic testing of the tank shell itself. Most fleets need both, on their respective schedules, to stay fully certified.
