Yep, a stupid federal government regulation based solely on age with no regard to condition.

I recently tried to refill my 40 pound RV tank at Ace. They couldn't do it because it was 2 months past the 10 year cutoff. The tank has always been stored in the RV compartment and looks like new. Had to pay a place in Bellview $25 bucks to recertify it.
