    Legal requirement for double box symbol on new class 2 appliances?

    Hi. I recently bought an electrical ceramic heater which was described as class 2. Now I've opened the packaging, I can see that the rating plate rather bizzarely shows an earth symbol, but states its class 2 (without a double box symbol)! The cable is 2 core. Waiting on reply from the supplier...

    Class 1 with no earth?

    Hi, I'm new to this so apologies if the answer is obvious! I'm PAT testing a coffee machine as a class 1 as there's nothing on the label to suggest it's a class 2 but when I test it, it says "no earth". Why could this be?

    Class 2 bathroom down light recommendations?

    For the bathroom, want them matching and one needs to go over the shower. Also need to be ok with insulation over the top. Ideally fit in the holes already there and don’t need the plastic huts. Taken the old ones out and one wire has an earth but the rest don’t, so looking for class 2...

    PAT test class 1 appliance no plug

    What is best practice when unable to access a plug on a class 1 appliance. Specifically a washing machine in this instance. There is also no isolation point where it is wired into so the plug is definitely behind f the machine but completely unreachable

    Class II fitting modified by Electrician

    Hi all, Disclaimer: I'm not an electrician and have very basic knowledge of electrical installation. We've been putting in a new kitchen into an apartment over the last couple of weeks and had a bit of a nightmare with the electrician. The firm is well rated and the guy we initially spoke to...

    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...

    As the title says, I am looking for a recommendation for an enclosure and gland arrangement to electrically isolate or divorce the earth/armouring of a two core SWA supplying an outbuilding/shed.

    TV class for testing

    Sorry if this thread is in the wrong section, I was always led to believe that a TV was class 1 for PAT testing, however the TV has a metal earth pin and I thought appliances with a metal earth pin were class 1

    Class 2 metal case heaters

    During an EICR the heater cases were found not connected to earth and only had 2 core cable, they do have a double insulated label on them, is this acceptable, they are fed by mcb with no rcd.

    Switch mode power supplies and protection class.

    My understanding is that a SMPS does not separate, like a SELV transformer, the secondary from the primary. Therefore presumably the equipment supplied cannot be IEC protection class III. So what class is the equipment? For example a laptop with an SMPS, metal body and high resistance...

    Looking for a class 2 outside light with PIR and constant on option?

    Afternoon all... Looking for a class 2 outside light (not a floodlight) with a PIR, but also the client wants to have the option of having the light on constantly. This is usually achieved by switching on and off a few times within a short space of time. I realise I could fit a separate sensor...

    UK Is a standard Pendant a Class 2 fitting?

    Hi All I’m presuming a standard pendant is a class 2 fitting as the earth terminals are not needed as it’s a plastic fitting and it only has an insulated 2 core going to the actual ‘lamp part’. Am I correct in thinking this? The reason I ask is Screwfix have replied to someone’s question...

    Class 2 car park lights SWA badly installed

    I’m wavering a bit on this one. RCD then B10 breaker. 1.5 sq mm 3 core SWA. That runs underground in ducting, then up and feeds about 10 LED class 2 lights, with cable cleated to the wall, then under again in ducting and about 5 more lights with cable again cleated to the wall. Now the thing...
