The main reason they only have a 15 year life cycle in the US is because of hydro testing CF tanks taking them to 7500 psi with water cracks some of the fibres and after three test's they start to fail. CF tanks should only be tested with Acoustic Wave machines.
I have posted that before about the difference between the US and EU and have always wondered why anyone would intentionally test their tank to destructing lessening the tank life. It is a good wat to guaranty repeat purchases down the road. Mark
