UK has a national requirement, SI 1768 1994 Plug & Socket Safety
Regulation that requires the standard plug must be certified by a
notified body. Currently, there are three notified bodies: BSI, ASTA
and Nemko approved by DTI. Does DTI have an update list of such
approved notified bodies published?
It's not DTI any more, it's BIS Department of Business, Innovation and
Skills.
There may be a list, but it's very difficult to find such things on the
web. I suggest you ask BIS directly, giving as much detail about what
you want to know as possible: [email protected]
According to Plug and Socket Regulations Guidance documents, the
notified bodies in NANDO (New Approach Notified and Designated
Organisations) can certify mains plug as well. Currently, TUV
Rheinland in China claims to have such authorisation. Is there any
latest update in this regulation?
NANDO itself has the information you require, it seems, but I can't be
sure. Google search doesn't recognize 'NANDO' but if you put the full
name in, you get hits. There is a PDF User Manual that explains how to
use the NANDO database to find notified bodies.
Be careful to check that the notified body is notified specifically for
the approval of British 13 A plugs. It might be notified for other
purposes only.

If dictionaries were correct, we would only need one, because they would all
give the same information.
