Ok, I have bought in 2002 two 5l bottles from a good friend of mine who has his shop in Germany. The bottles are used with my semi closed rebreather from Draeger (Dolphin). It was time now to let them check again by our Swiss experts (EMPA).
Surprise, surprise they want to do a first certification check because they do not accept the BAM certification from Germany. This would cost me two times 200.- sFr instead of 60.- sFR.
The major problem is that a CE stemp on my bottles are missing and therefore the Swiss do not accept the first certification. So be aware of this when purchasing bottles!!!!

sounds like the nutters in the states, they wouldnt hydro my tanks because they used to be DIN / CE stamped but not DOT (dot = same as the din / ce cert just not as anal) lol
