Until now i thougth that the rebreather should be certified, in europe, according to the EN 14134/03 "Respiratory equipment - Self contained rebreathing diving apparatus".

I discovered that at least two SCR sold in Italy are certified CE according to 89/686/EEC regarding "personal protective equipment".

I would be intersted to know if there are other rebreathers sold as "CE certified" who are certified under norms different from EN 14134/03.

Thank you.

Ciao Gibbo,

The difference up there is that some Factories are promoting the own rebreather as CE certified; nobody know that this certification is for Personal Protective Equipment.
A shot in the dark?....Voyager...

Oh...and Happy New Year to you, your Wife and to Massimo when you will see him.

Best,

Nad
