Safety Recall Notice:

Imperial EANx32
Recreational Dive Planner (RDP)
PADI Americas recently discovered an error in some printings of the English language, Imperial
EANx32 RDP. No other version of the RDP is affected. Although the risk of injury is exceedingly
remote and no injuries have been reported, this table is being recalled.
The affected Imperial EANx32 RDP has the following product number and product code (found in
the lower right corner on the back of the table).

Product No. 60049 Ver 1.2 (Rev 02/03)


XXXPDK7
The product code digits indicated by “X” may vary. The last four
digits “PDK7” indicate a recalled table, irrespective of what the
first three digits are.
As a double check, on Table 3, check the 110 foot row under Pressure Group G. The table should
indicate a Residual Nitrogen Time (upper number in white) of 13 and an Actual Bottom Time (lower
number in green) of 12. If this box is blank, you have a misprinted table.
