Can I use a NEMA Outlet Receptacle (twist lock type) on the back of a product to power a unique accessory (power cable provided) and market it in Europe? I would still use a European Style Plug on the main power cord. Is this allowed or can’t NEMA plugs/receptacles be used in Europe? How about other counties outside of North America?
