HSE approval

[Rabies]

Does anyone know for sure if I buy an air bottle from the continent, will it be HSE approved? Somebody said Europe used HSE standards, but since the HSE is a UK agency, don't Europe have something else (like TUV or CE or something)?

I don't want to think I've got a great deal on a bottle, then find I can't legally fill it anywhere.

You must specify to the supplier that you want an HSE bottle, as the majority will be DOT tested only which is NBG in the UK. Have a look at this thread in Techroom for more info http://www.p8ntballer-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10462

Thanks for clearing that up Liz. Sounds like the only safe option is to buy in the UK unless there is a guarantee that the bottle you buy is HSE approved.

Be careful even in the UK & ask first. I know there were quite a few DOT only bottles being sold at Campaign Cup this year & a friend was told that it would be OK! The HSE/Dual test bottles were more expensive (around £30 I think). I do know Smart Parts are doing the dual test bottles, & there are a few more around but CHECK FIRST even in the UK.

both planet and wdp both do the new spec co2 bottles which conform to the eec standards (approx £30 for 20oz)

if your not sure speak to any of the partys i have mentioned above and they will put you on the right track


hope this helps a little
