When you take your Nitrox tank in for it's annual Visual Inspection, what is the requirement on having it cleaned?

Do you have to have it "re-cleaned" each year?

What is the standard and "who" sets the standard?

You dont have to have it recleaned every year. The "SCUBA Industry" makes up their own standards, most of the mixed gas ones mimic CGA or NOAA standards.

At a minimum you will be recleaning a tank after every Hydro, most divers who do a lot of dives and get a lot of fills feel that cleaning more often is prudent.
