[QUOTE="binky, post: 556787, member: 490"] When I was a lad, a long long time ago, we used to have institutions that regulated and certified products - remember the 'kite mark'. However, these were done away with in the name of progress, in favour of self certification schemes like CE marking. So whilst standards do exist, and many Chinese products do meet requirements, there's no proactive enforcement. It's only when the rose fertiliser hits the fan that anything might happen. Legal liability.lies with the UK importer, so it's up to them to ensure compliance with UK regs. They should be doing regular quality control checks especially if claiming ISO9000 ( or whatever that is today) compliance. Personally, I would look at the quality of the cable and make my own judgement, and then decide if I want to fit said item ever again. [/QUOTE]
