My understanding is that the Sub CCR unit is CE approved

However, I believe there are 2 types of CE approval?

1. A specific CE rating which specifies the ability of the unit to maintain ppO2 within a narrow range of values

2. A mechanical/engineering approval

I believe its the 2nd "type of" CE mark that the Sub unit has?

There is at least one thread discussing this at considerable and highly entertaining length on Rebreather World.

I'm pretty sure you're right on the approval type (i.e under the machinery directive), but I think that the point was that is not sufficient approval for a CCR (as a specific standard exists for them).

Cheers,
