New nitrox Standard - info

I contacted Poseidon UK this week to get their position as a manufacturer
and this was their response,
"we (Poseidon) have no intentions of changing our valve threads at this
time. There are still valves out there of earlier thread types and we see no
benefit from a change."
It was also discussed that if a change were to be explored, that the change
would not be for "at least ten years".
Further discussions led to the understanding that Poseidon did not agree
with the standard and that Poseidon may "reject" the standard as it lowered
safety. "if a thread change was made, it should be at least 27 or 28mm, not
26. You can still get a 25mm regulator in a 26mm thread."
So it appears that one of the worlds leading manufacturer has no plans to
adopt this thread sizing, considering the Xstream is specifically made for
mixes up to and including pure oxygen, this is a comforting statement.
In addition, Poseidon advised that "you should not read too much into this",
apparently they see it as no more than a storm in a tea cup. Let's hope they
are right.
