Unsafe plug with sheathead earth pins?

[positiveman87]

Hi guys

I import electrical items from overseas and I have ran into a problem with a particular products charging plug.

Apparently it's unsafe to UK standards as it has "sheathead earth pins"

I'm confused as it has the markings of BS1363 on the plug which I thought means it meets all safety criteria.

A few questions

1: Is it genuinely BS1363 compliant as it states on the plug?
2: What are "sheathead earth pins"
3: Does it appear to be dangerous

On a related note, I've seen people in the past PAT testing these figure 8 type leads. I don't think they understood exactly what they were testing

My tester has a setting for class 2 products

And so it should - they all do. However, this guy was testing IR and polarity. Daz
