Re: Re: Law and UK plugs for equipment?

Yes the law does state that a correct power plug needs to be included.

You may remember days when you had to attach a plug yourself. Well that has
gone as well.

Quite simply they 'must' supply a uk plug to be legal.

On the same topic, in theory anything with a plug must have a 12 months
warranty. (Unless your CISCO who only provide a 3 month warranty  ! work
that one out)
