Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone of you knows whether I can use IEC certified cables in the UK or if they have to be according to BS?

As far as I'm aware, yes you can.
The British Standards are based on the IEC standards.
Only thing you might have problems with, is if the cables have incorrect plugs fitted.
