[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 453663, member: 9512"] What I am pointing out actually Rob, is that plugs and sockets for domestic use are excluded from the Low Voltage Directive. To legally bear the CE mark, a device MUST meet the EHSR's of the relevant directive, and can ONLY legally bear the mark if it does. There is no Directive that covers BS 1363 socket outlets. The nearest would be the LVD, and that is here in pdf form: [URL="http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32014L0035&from=EN"]http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32014L0035&from=EN[/URL] If you refer to Annexe II, para 5 this can be seen.
