    Mains cable blown out on two products

    If you look on the left where the N wire goes in, on the other side it's soldered directly onto the left side of the fuse.

    Mains cable blown out on two products

    Would it be an issue that the fuse it connected to the neutral and not the line? The fuse in this position was part of the testing of EN 60335-2-17 but it tested against short-circuit only and not perhaps someone/something like a metal bedframe cutting into the cable.

    EN standards of neon scredrivers

    I know they're crap, but the ones I'm looking at are for home / DIY use so I don't think HSE rules apply. All I need to know is EN standard that these should conform to.

    EN standards of neon scredrivers

    Hello people, Not an electrician, but more of a quality controller. I've got to check for the compliance one those horrible neon screwdrivers for a company but I'm pretty stumped. Some people say they should conform to EN 61010-031 and some say EN 61423-3. RAPEX has many of these listed with...
