The compression behaviour of deuterated ice VII and VIII was investigated by high pressure neutron scattering in the pressure range 2-13.7 GPa between 93 K and 300 K. We establish equations-of-state which contain accurate values for the bulk moduli B, their pressure derivatives B', as well as the ambient pressure volumina V. These equations-of-state hold over a large part of the stability domain of ice VII, by comparison with available X-ray data, and to at least 13 GPa for ice VIII. They are indistinguishable at low pressures, but beyond 7 GPa and at low temperatures ice VIII appears to become stiffer than expected. This might be related to an anomalous phonon hardening observed previously in ice VIII in this range [D.D. Klug et al., Physical Review B, 70, 144113 (2004)].
