Is your leg part of the body ???
Yes, but my body does not use protection class II as defined by IEC61140, and my legs are not made to BS1363. I don't have an earth lead either, so I must be class 0 or III. Can anybody read the label on my back to see if I'm SELV?
Anyway, it seems there are dodgy plugs in circulation that are rewirable but have a plastic earth pin (officially called an ISOD - insulated shutter-opening device). This configuration is not permitted by BS1363 even for class II applications. If the plug is rewirable it must have a metal earth pin.
