    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...

    Class 2 metal case heaters

    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.

    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...

    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...

    Class 2 ?

    Hi. Customer has asked me to extend these pendants. They are not sold as class 2 & the wiring cup has an earth tag, but, as you see they are wired without a cpc.

    Class 2 product?

    If you have say a metal based lamp and it’s still a class 2 product. What would happen if the exterior somehow became live. There’s obviously no path to earth?
