This story from the Ontario Ministry of Labour goes to show how important yearly Hp and Lp compressor maintenance and air testing is when used for breathing air.

Couldn't agree more about importance of preventative compressor maintenance and air testing. Maintenance though like with airplanes should be based on hours of use rather than a particular time interval. As far as air testing frequency both PADI and NAUI recommend quarterly testing of the compressor system.
