Hello Been doing some more reading
SI 1994 No 1768 is the Plug and Socket safety regs for the UK. In this it appears that this product falls outside the scope of this regulation. It seems to be only classifiable under the SI as a Part 1 product, quote " any plug, socket or adaptor ordinarily intended for domestic use at a voltage of not less than 200 volts, to any fuse link which is suitable for use in any such plug being a standard plug and to any cartridge fuse link which is suitable for use in any other plugs and adaptors but does not apply to any electrical device specified in Schedule 1 to these Regulations. ". However Schedule 1 specifically excludes "Any plug, socket or adaptor which incorporates any other electrical device (other than a F fuse link, switch or indicator light)". As the product includes a PSU it appears not to be covered by this legislation. Where does that leave a potential supplier?

That ruling may pre-date the BS7671 amendment, which makes the classification as a fixed installation very much less onerous than it might have been previously. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
