Within the European Community the use of Nitrox mixes is regulated by norms EN 13949 and EN 144-3. SCUBAPRO has designed special regulator systems that comply with the these regulations and can be used with oxygen enriched air containing an oxygen concentration higher than 21% and up to 100% at a maximum operating pressure of 200bar. They are easily identifiable with green and yellow colour accents. Regular production SCUBAPRO regulators distributed to countries outside of the European Community use normal INT or DIN connections and are manufactured with materials, assembly procedures and lubricants that ensure compatibility with gas mixes containing oxygen up to 40%. In these countries, users are required to follow the same safety procedures that apply to dedicated nitrox regulators and to comply with the regulations set by each country concerning the use on Nitrox mixes for diving. Please see our Regulator section for more details and warning regarding Nitrox diving.
