You can make your own cell, providing that it conforms to the racing regulations for the sport you are thinking of doing. For road use, as long as it conforms to sva rules, you can make your own.
You do not have to have a certificate or have it made by a manufacturer.

If you're planning on racing then make sure you have a 22-25 litre tank, as we have started to have 30 min races, and the intent is to hold more in the future - which is ace!
