European Regulations

[M 818]

Now having a bit of trouble finding out something wondered if you guys can help me. I am going to do a trade but have been looking at the bottle and im not sure if it is good for use in uk it says HSE which is europe but it doesnt say something else which i think is sopposed to say EN 12245 like my bottle. Here a pic of it and wondered if you can tell me if you can still fill these bottles up at European events? Cheers

HSE is the old British standard which is still good over here. Pye is the newer european standard, which is required for european events. Also if its a 5 year test the the bottle is out of test.

i think it's ok to use but it needs a re-test (unless you've recently had one.).

So i wont be able to use this bottle at millenium or Centurio's?

 

[M 818]

Can i use this at bricketwood(uk masters south)?

It's test has run out 03/2003
unless you get it re-tested you wont be allowed to use it anywhere.
H-PAC does retesting,it's about a one week turn around and costs somewhere in the region of £35.00 including return postage.

think testing is £25 with return postage mate, it can be used in the UK fine and I think its still ok to use in EU events its just the old standard mark not the new one

Ok thanks everybody for the replies and i did know it needs retesting thanks anyway.

Send it to them, then just collect it at the next UKM South, as long as it's in-date, UK legal, and HPAC are happy then we shouldn't have a problem
