Hi We have been checking several travel adopters for importers here in EU, but we have to fail nearly all of them.
One big issue is the UK plug. As I understand they shall comply with BS 1363-3. And in this standard ยง12.4 e) there is a requirement for BS 1363 or BS 643 fuses. Some adapters have an 5x20 IEC fuse some have thermo fuses and many have no fuse at all. Do I overlook some exceptions or new requirements, that allows adaptors without BS fuse, or are they all just "normal" Asian low quality?
