There’s a useful summary of European plug requirements in an annex to 60335-1. Also note that Switzerland allows adaptors for some smaller products but not some larger ones. The people in the Swiss group regulating this have been quite helpful in educating me on their rules in a positive way.

In the UK (don’t know about Eire) the law (UK Plug & Socket Regs 1994 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1994/1768/made) Clause 9 require that an appliance with a non-UK plug be supplied with a suitable “conversion plug” that does meet UK requirements and will fit a standard UK 13A socket. Suitable “conversion plugs” are widely available in the UK.

Subject: <SPAM> [PSES] CE marked products


In general understanding, products bearing CE Mark are free movement in the EU. I doubt how can they do it.  For example, a Euro plug is fitted in the product.  How can it operate in Ireland where UK plug is common?  Do the products mark the CE Mark incorrectly or must the products comply with all national deviations in the LVD standard (some EPSs do supply different plugs but costly & not common on products)?  Did I miss something in the requirements to look after this scenario?  Appreciate the guidance to read the requirements correctly!


Thanks and regards,


Scott
