I don't need a judge to tell me what is right and wrong, I can make that call based on facts, there is one rebreather CE mark, its- EN14143:2003

Do the units in question have EN14143:2003?

Without it, where are you left when things go wrong?

Agree - I have my opinion and used that to inform my choice of a unit. I chose one that was certificated against EN14143:2003.

Anyone who certifies a unit against another standard, prints their own certification or bases their certification on only one component of their unit meeting CE, is misleading customers in a potentially illegal way.

I also agree strongly with Dave - if you buy a non-CE unit, you know you're buying something that is not CE certified. That's not bad in itself, as long as you know that.

Cheers,
