    Is this a class 1 or class 2?

    I am a new PAT tester for a school, and I am stuck testing a plasma globe. It has a two core wire going to it, but no class 2 mark on the appliance. As I understand it, if it has no mark I must treat it as a class 1, and it instantly fails as there is no earth bond. However, it has been passed...
