sorry for me its the taste here.we can talk about the fake ce from seaway.thats a really fake,no problem.(the file comes from me)
but submatix work in germany so there must find a legal way to sell the breather.meg,revo and kiss sell the breather only for decoration to the eu or need third non eu contries(swisse).in my eyes is this more illegal than submatix.in germany we say"wer im glashaus sitzt der soll nicht mit steinen werfen"
Hi Sepp,
The thing is not everyone reads RBW....
If I ask a normal OC diving member of my club which rebreathers are CE rated and hand them the advertising material from all known manufacturers they will honestly reply- Inspiration, Evolution, Dolphin, Azimuth, Seaway, Voyager and Submatics.
Now the fact that this exclusive bunch are not all CE marked equally is not obvious and that, (IMVHO) is the crime.
Buying in the full knowledge of a units lack of 3rd party testing (Meg KISS etc) is fine, you accept that and move on.
Buying in the full knowledge of a units CE mark and testing only to find when/if something happens on your <insert questionably marked rebreather here> it was not tested properly as an underwater rebreather but something completely different... a cheese tray for example...
I think everyone will agree that having a standard is a good thing, yes it is tedious to make sure you comply, particularly as technology has moved on past the grounds the standard was set in (MCCR compliance debate) and perhaps it needs revision?
At the end of the day, to sell something alluding to equal compliance is as I aready suggested- dangerous and perhaps criminal?
