We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to prevent changes to the current regulations on scuba cylinder valves. More details
Submitted by P Slegg – Deadline to sign up by: 28 September 2007 – Signatures: 3,443
The proposed EU changes to SCUBA cylinder valves will require a different sized valve for nitrox and trimix gas mixtures (see BS EN 144-3:2003)
There are no problems with the current A-clamp and DIN (M25) thread size and it has not been the cause of any incidents.
The proposed EU changes will lead to confusion and increased risk and it is a wholly unnecessary cost that divers and commerce can do without.
The HSE voted against the EU proposal and Britian should support them and common sense.
