What about "granny chargers" on TN-C-S supplies, This could possibly pose a large shock risk. (iv pulled the pin out of the grenade)
But as reg 722.411.4.1 says any outlet which is likely to be used to charge a car cannot use a PME earth without other precautions
And as mentioned previously BS EN62572 means >6mA DC fault protection has to be included in the granny charger
So if using quality items on a decent electrical installation, then there should be no risks
But you will always be able to buy a cheap crap granny charger straight from china, and plug it into a non RCD socket circuit in a house in which the fixed wiring could do with TLC and has not been inspected since it was installed 50 years ago
I mean you can order the so called "suicide showers" to the UK from china, kind of says it all
