Yes, but even if it were made for the UK, it obviously could not be supplied via a 13A plug, so that issue is a bit of a red herring.Made for a country which lacks our wonderful 13A plugs and 240v (actual) supply.
I suppose the answer is that they are thinking only in terms of 15/16A and 30/32A supplies (nothing in-between) - so since 16A is not enough, they specify a 30A supply.
