I think the mentioned manufacturers did not try to cheat the law and/or their customers!
No offense but do you work for either of them? If not then how do you know that?
I didn't say they where trying to cheat anyone, they might just be ignorant or have been tricked by someone else.

Another example how "useless, stupid" the CE can be: You have a regulator from manufacturer XY with a CE mark. On this regulator you don't like the mouthpiece and you are replacing it with an other one from a different vendor. At this moment you lost the CE on this item!
Yes... but thats not what we're talking about, at least the reg in question had a legitimate CE mark in the first place. What you do with something once you've bought it is your problem.
If the reg was CE marked as a snorkel then it would be relevant.

Also the insurance company can reduce their payment if your equipment was not CE conform.
Do you have any evidence of that?
