In the Uk, regardless of class 1 or class 2 products, the product has to be fitted with a 3-pin plug. How many users do understand the product required earthing or not? If the answer is NO in general, how can the users be avoided using below products incorrectly.
For example, the 12 V DC to AC inverter used in car. Normally this type of product provides a socket accepting a 3-pin plug and has no earth connection. How can the users be told not to plug in an appliance that requires earthing? Is there any safety clause to govern this type of issue?
