I guess you could simply ask the tester's opinion. So far, I haven't heard of colour bars operating, but that will depend where you live I suppose.

I got my (air) tanks tested last month, no hassles about the black and white quartering which they didn't have.

My local shop painted quadrants on all the school kit after consulting with the HSE but does not require it on customer tanks in for a fill.
