EN 250: 2014 norm regulations and what they mean
The requirements and tests defined by the EN 250: 2014 aim to ensure a minimum safety level
for the operation of underwater breathing equipment.
In Europe, the EN 250 norm defines since years the minimum technical standards of
acceptance for recreational diving regulators and the EN250:2014 is the latest revision of the
EN250 norm.
SCUBAPRO AIR2 has been tested with the following SCUBAPRO first stages, and has
successfully passed the certification tests required by EN250:2014 to an auxiliary emergency
breathing device integrated with a buoyancy inflator system.
MK2 EVO, MK11, MK17 EVO, MK19 EVO, MK21, MK25 EVO

The use of AIR2 as regulator is certified exclusively for diving in water temperature
higher than 10°C (50°F), as shown in marking.
Do not use AIR2 as regulator during diving in water temperature below that limit.
Failure to follow this indication could lead to serious injuries or even death.
!
WARNING
Only SCUBA complying with EN250:2014 and marked “EN250A” or “EN250A>10°C”
may be used as an escape device by more than one diver at the same time.
