In terms of safety level, both constructions are given the equivalent protection against electric shock. In electrical appliances, Class I is used most whereas Class II is employed in most electronic products. Is there any background for such design route?
In some cases such as induction cookers, the enclosure is plastic/glass - no any internal metal part exposes to the outside surfaces. The product is not marked with a double square symbol and comes with a 3-pin plug. Why is this type of product not classified as Class II rather than Class I with the plastic/glass enclosure?
