As you seem to have gas located inside home give a good inspection to that plastic hose and might be wise to invest in a leak safety regulator which will cut off flow in case of a leak.  Can buy as package with new hose for reasonable price.

Also, always do soapy water test at the connection's, including the connection into the stove which rarely, if ever gets checked.  Constant heating and cooling over time can cause the connection to loosen.

I play it extra cautious and only use gas outside, on my balcony.  I would never keep a bottle inside in an enclosed space.

I don’t blame you the ones we use are our own and refill.

I have never seen any requirement here about internal inspection.

The couple we had in Australia for the barbecue had to be inspected every x years and stamped.

They wouldn’t refill them otherwise.

In the US, I took my BBQ propane bottle to get it filled and the attendant said: "No."  He pointed out an expiration date stamped on the bottle collar that I had never noticed before.  I think it was something like 12 years.  Had to buy a new one.
