Earlier the net weight of domestic LPG cylinder was 15 kilograms. This was decided based on the maximum weight a person can carry as per labor rules. When the Bureau of Indian Standards change the specifications (of max RVP) of LPG marketable in India, the weight had to be reduced to accommodate the total volume of LPG that can be filled in the cylinder (max 95% at 65°C). This had to be done as the Inventory of 15 kg LPG cylinders in circulation was very high and a recall was unviable.
