Hi
Dont think anyone is suggesting anything should be banned... the point is equipment that is not CE marked cannot be sold commercially in Europe. It doesnt stop anyone importing it personally into Europe ..as many of us do!!
All Alex was doing was trying to explain how one might hypothetically obtain CE approval for equipment that is sold as "add-ons" to CE marked equipment.

His ,
a company can't sell any Equipement of individual protection in europe, sending an item in europe is selling in europe even by post.
In addition tecme is a european company, drager is also a european company,revo is a european company, narked at 90 sell rebreather parts from england as far as I know...anf I probably forget a couple of.
how many europeand dive shops or european website sell oxymeters from europe to european divers ?
how to abtain a certification where it is not a legal requirement ?
you said : All Alex was doing was trying to explain how one might hypothetically obtain CE approval for equipment that is sold as "add-ons" to CE marked equipment alex said :Components for rebreathers are covered by EN14143:2003. it means that the component must legaly be certified, and as no EPP can be sold in europe it means that drager is not on the legal side, same for tecme, narked at 90, etc etc
I think all those maker are perfectly in a legal situation.
In additon I don't mind what alex really meant, I just want to say, let's be careful soon or later this market will be so regulated that all the small companied will die.
if we ask laws for everything certification for everything we will loose our freedon to configurate oure rebreather the way we like to cause we are all adults intelligent enough to decide if it is wise to get non EC bov and to put it on a buffy , a sub, a drager or whatever.
