PlugSafe Protecting BS 1363 - the world’s safest mains plug and socket PlugSafe is a volunteer organisation working with other bodies to fight the threats to UK plug safety due to abuses, illegal counterfeits and a loophole in the standard itself. For information on the dangers caused by plug-in socket covers for BS 1363 sockets, visit PlugSafe is also concerned with dangerous, and.

Get our Counterfeit Plugs were introduced to provide a regulatory regime to address issues regarding consumer safety. There were concerns that consumer safety was compromised by the substantial quantity of counterfeit and unsafe electrical plugs and sockets being placed on the UK market. Despite this, there are a number of web retailers who advertise counterfeit plugs which, although being fraudulently marked “BS 1363”, are not compliant. These plugs are usually offered as part of a complete lead with a socket on the other end.

NOTE: CE Marking is NEVER appropriate for domestic mains plugs and sockets. The CE Marking scheme is a self-certification scheme to indicate that a product complies with the relevant EU Directive. There is no such thing as “CE approval”. Domestic plugs and sockets, such as those conforming to BS 1363, are controlled by national standards, not EU standards, and must not therefore have a CE Marking applied to them. (See page 7 of ) We are always looking for user experiences with counterfeit UK plugs and cables. We are especially interested in first hand experience of sparking, melting and burning (often reported in Amazon customer reviews of counterfeits). Please about your experience.

A common indicator of a counterfeit plug is an earth pin which is partially insulated. BS 1363 requires that all power pins (the shorter pins) are partially insulated.

Cnbc Awaaz Live Hindi. However, earth pins must be solid brass, or, in the case of plugs intended solely for use with non-earthed devices, solid plastic. BS 1363 is quite specific, clause 12.16 states 'Sleeves shall not be fitted to any earthing plug pin. Easy Power Software. ' Having a sleeve on an earth pin is dangerous because it can prevent there being any contact to the earth of the socket. To ensure that the earth connection is made as soon as the plug touches the socket many sockets place the contact right at the faceplate, this means that continuity is lost as soon as a plug with a sleeved earth is fully inserted! PLEASE NOTE: Plugs with partially sleeved earth pins are ALWAYS counterfeit, and are not allowed to be sold, even for non-earthed applications. The power lead shown above is the worst type we have seen.

We bought them from Amazon.co.uk suppliers “Star e-shop” and “eBlink”, and have also seen them offered by other Amazon.co.uk and eBay.co.uk. These leads have the following faults: •Counterfeit fuse ( a very crude imitation with no approval marks, no sand filling, loose end caps) - it was not even connected to anything! •Partially sleeved earth pin, and all pins are the wrong size. •The colour coding of the wires is not in conformance with any known standard, and the C5 connector is wired in reverse!

•The moulding of the plug/cable assembly has taken place with the fuse carrier and fuse in place, with nothing to prevent the moulding material flowing into the fuse chamber, one of the samples was almost entirely filled in this way completely sealing in one end of the fuse. •The plug is marked: “ KING CORO”, “APProved bY BSI” and “Licence No 41231” with a counterfeit Kitemark •The cable is marked “CCC YF 227 IEC 53(RVV) 3x0.75mm2 300/500V GB5023.5-1997 MADE IN CHINA”, but actual conductors are less than 10% of rated value! •The outer covering of the cable and the insulation on the conductors is so weak that it can be easily peeled off using finger nails only.

Some counterfeit plugs have pins which are the wrong size, too short, too long, too thick and too thin. This lead (shown far left compared with a genuine BS 1363 plug) was bought from an ebay seller in May 2011 had a plug that was completely the wrong size and was fitted with a fuse which was so loose it rattled! In addition, the fuse (which was itself counterfeit, and not compliant with BS 1362) was the wrong value for the lead type. The line wire was connected directly to the pin, THE FUSE WAS NOT CONNECTED!!!
