AIR PURITY TESTERS -BUCKS

[peter_maskell]

As the DO of a dive club lucky enough to own it's own compressor, I'm trying to find a centre to check the purity of our air as per regulations, every 3 months. The closer to Aylesbury the better. Anyone able to help?

Hi Peter,
If your club has the money you could buy your own kit. The rules require the testing to be carried out by a "competent person". You could also contact Aquatron in Glasgow who have a testing service. You sent them a sample of air, in a container they supply, and they will test it for you to BS EN 12021.
I have my own kit and will test samples for clubs. I will be in the Bedford area next Thursday not far from you. If the idea of coming over to where I will be with an air sample appeals to you, PM me and I will send you details.
