Hang on, I thought this m26 lobbocks was in the form of guidelines or recommendations and did not have the force of a code of practice or a standard. Haven't the HSE said that they will not enforce the M26 so called "rules", they could hardly do that if it was a CE requirement. If that is the case how does CE marking come into it, has the CE standard for regs been changed to include M26 for nitrox? If so we're on a loser.

You are 100% correct. Apeks are talking shit and cannot require the regulator to be changed. Since there is no difference between the parts for an O2 service Apeks reg and a non O2 one this is utter crap from start to finish.

I have an idea.

I think everyone that owns an Apeks reg should email Apeks customer service and ask them what the fuck they are playing at. (info@apeks.co.uk)

A couple of thousand indignant customers should get them to change their minds....
