Lighting Symbols

Just purchased some downlighters, that don't have the twin square symbol indicating a double insulated fitting.

Although they do have have a CE marking, therefore complying with European standards.

They only have a Line and Neutral connection, in a choc box type fitting with no obvious connection point on the fitting itself for a CPC

Therfore would I be right in assuming they are double insulated, due to the fact that most of our European neighbours dont use a CPC, and these fitting are CE approved.

Thanks

I'd return them. If you're installing them for yourself, you make the decision. But if you're installing them for someone else I wouldn't take the risk.
The manufacturer should know what the product standards and regulations are, and it seems in this case that they don't.

No square in square, Assume class 1

That was my initial thought, but they look almost identical to other Class 2 downlighters I have installed.

I also have the problem of not having a CPC connection point.

would still like to know a conclusive answer regarding the CE approval, but as WDMDL suggests, I think they may be on their way back to the supplier.
