    QUALITY<\/h2>\n

    95% of components built in our UK factory. 100% tested in depth.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    There\u2019s no buy-in and bolt-on at AP.<\/strong> In-house design, tool-making, big investment in R&D and manufacturing coupled with rigorous on-site and in-water testing (bench and manned) means start-to-finish quality and consistency.<\/p>\n

    AP Diving\u2019s product specs and manufacturing processes are routinely checked and verified by third party agents Lloyd\u2019s Register Quality Assurance Ltd<\/strong> to achieve the essential ISO 9001 manufacturing standard.<\/strong> And all AP Inspiration rebreathers meet or exceed the stringent criteria needed to attain the essential CE approved status.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    \n
    \n\t

    Decades of manufacturing and diving experience<\/strong> thought and testing have gone into the design and materials used for every structural component. Such as: the silicone mouthpiece with extended bites that fit just right; the insulated axial scrubber made from polypropylene (light with excellent thermal properties); the 1000 denier Dupont cordura double-bag counterlung and wing construction (the toughest available); the polypropylene valves and fittings (stronger, lighter, affordable and readily available); the impact absorbing ABS protective case and chassis; unique re-usable chromed hose fittings\u2026<\/p>\n

    All common to the Inspiration, all British made and all Quality Assured.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
