Your customer is misinformed and nuts! Why would anyone want to endanger his
customers? The short answer is that the National Electrical Code which is
adopted virtually everywhere in the US requires equipment to be Listed. And
you can be virtually assured that no agency is going to List that
configuration.

        Subject:  US Mains Plug/Earthing


        I am in the UK, a customer in USA wants us to fit
        2 pin mains plugs to the Class 1 appliances he
        is going to be buying from us.

        He is very firm that there are no regulations in US
        that requires this to be so. Is that true?

        Thank you.
