The sticker is covering the adapters specs? or the adapter should have been made in Japan not China?

Its the plug. Its not made to british standard and has no fuse in it.
And the fact it has actually passed a PAT test like that! probably just had a sticker stuck on by any old numpty. I've come across those at work I cut em off and replace with proper plug, or just change completely if a fig 8 lead. Edited by GAZ. - 17 July 2013 at 8:27pm |

Indeed. Not PAT tested by any old numpty but by a commercial testing company, the name of which I;ve obliterated on the pic. No fuse, small cable, fake CE marking. Very nasty.

Is this the end Kevin?
All this time getting standards and enforcing them, now gone. Trust whats written? Trust the supply chain? Trust its safe? Maybe if everything becomes faked or substandard, manufacturing might come home. |

This is almost certainly an ebay purchase. A proper UK (european) business has a legal obligation to sell goods fit for purpose, safe to use and complying with legislation. This item was none of those and I don't suppose the supplier cared...the rules dont apply to private individual sales where it's 'buyer beware'. The PAT test company was also IMHO, negligent to pass it.
If I get time, I'll crack the adapter open and check for double-insulation clearance & creepage since it's marked as such. |

Oh No, A decent sounding Mackie, what is the world coming to!
Probably nearer the correct wattage as well. Edited by service dept Steve - 25 October 2013 at 3:41pm |
