[QUOTE="binky, post: 556266, member: 490"] The instructions were probably written in China. Most have a get out clause about complying with local regulations. I would want to know a lot more about the construction of the hot tub itself, such as does it claim to be class II ? However, our regs really only apply to the hard wired circuit, not what is plugged into any circuit. So I would concurr that your responsibility and legal liability ends at the outdoor socket. The legal responsibility for the safety if any item plugged into a compliant circuit rests with the supplier/ manufacturer. If it didn't we could be held responsible for every lawn mower or hedge trimmer that cuts it's own cable... [/QUOTE]
