By virtue of using them you are giving the suggestion that you are a commercial enterprise. That alone may invalidate your insurance. I had long discussions on this with my insurance company. They were happy for me to occasionally carry a dive cylinder for recreational use. They were not happy about me displaying the warning signs. Think long and hard before doing something that you aren't required by law to do. As far as I was concerned it was a case of "The road to hell being paved with good intentions".
INSURANCE COMPANY or insurance AGENT?
I do not agree with them.
And each insurer will respond differently.
It is down to the knowledge and intelligence of the underwriter (!!!) you speak to and that varies from good to anus.
Better still, get it in writing so in the event of a claim, they cannot wriggle out.
The showing of a sign does not make it trade. it is a reasonable precaution and action for someone carrying 300bar pressure to take to preserve the life or prevent injury.
Which insurer also..
