Legh Richardson:

If its a genuine class I appliance then there will be an exposed conductive part available such as, mentioned, a screw head

It may be poorly or wrongly labelled,

There are cases where class II items of equipment have metals bodies....

Here is hoping soo as otherwise I have little other choice but to fail the item
