Safety Instructions



I recently purchased a few rewireable Europlugs from a German supplier:

I found the safety instructions they came with quite interesting:

A little over the top for fitting a plug but I guess they are fairly generic and driven by liability laws. I have put the German in as well for Mike (and others?).


Best regards

  • For fitting a mains plug uh-huh..


    No mention of  what type of  PPE, carrying a fire extinguisher  and completing and filing a risk assessment then.


    If it is supposed to be that hard to fit a mere plug, I can see why folk don't always bother and sometimes just stick the wires in.


    Something about cutting the wires to the right length and not damaging the insulation would have been more relevant, even using proper tools, not junk about IP ratings and method of earthing.


    The German reader in me is  ganz erstaunt,  as it is basically a translation of the same crap.


    What is classic zeroing in this context - is this grounded neutral / PNB ?


    This Dokumentation is not fit for purpose, it may make fractionally more sense if it was accompanying a consumer unit.

    Even so its main effect is to fail to release the supplier from their legal obligation to provide reasonable instructions. (as these are not reasonable instructions)
