Robert,

>>DIN - Deutsches Institut fuer Normung<<

You got that right. Until a few years ago the acronym stood for 'Deutsche
IndustrieNorm'.

>>Simply a German equivalent of the Compressed Gas Association (CGA).<<

Not at all, DIN norms exist for just about everything, from dive equipment to
paper size to  computer equipment to the length of coffin nails and the width of
toilet seats. In fact, I'd challenge you to name a German product for which
there is NO DIN norm. Good luck <bg>.

As for the guy that claimed that DIN valves were a 'techie' piece of equipment,
oh well... 
It is definately the standard valve in this country.
