The regulations do not create nonsensical situations. The type of product you mention is permitted, provided of course it is safe. Whether the UK plug must actually be attached to the cable connector at the point of sale is a grey area. It seems to me that such a requirement would be oppressive. You need to look at the Plugs and Sockets (Safety Regulations) 1994 by going to http://www.dti.gov.uk/strd/links.html#copreg and following the links to the Stationery Office web site where you can download for free. I think you need to look at item 6 of Schedule 1 'Excluded devices'. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. The good news is that nothing is compulsory. The bad news is that everything is prohibited. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Also see http://www.isce.org.uk This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
