The pressure gauge is compliant with the
specifications set forth in the European
Standard EN 13949: 2003 for use with oxygen
rich mixtures (Nitrox).
The EC certification process and verification of
the operating performance of the pressure
gauge in the Puck Air dive computer under
standards EN 250:2000 and EN 13949: 2003
are understood to be applicable to a maximum
depth of 50 m below the surface.
The Puck Air dive computer can be used in cold
water (water at temperatures below 10°C).
