    whjohnson: 
    Most likely highlighting my ignorance here, but would a more obvious answer be that the earth terminal is just there to ‘park’ the cpc where a light fitting is changed but is using the existing wiring from a fitting which previously utilized it?

    gkenyon:

    Reasonable assumption, but the IEC 60417-5017 symbol on the bottom-left of the driver is used where the equipment must be earthed.

    Yes, but does it need to be earthed if it is a component of a Class II luminaire? That is why I asked about the markings on the complete product.
