Fused moulded plug to IEC with no replaceable fuse!?

[Gerrydelasel]

Don't worry - when we get to negotiate regulatory compliance with China, we'll have much more clout as a nation of 60M than a bloc of 500M.

Legal responsibility lies with the importer (probably a wholesaler used by Foscam), not the manufacturer. Although the Chinese originator may present false advertising, Trading Standards does not apply to them.

Can anyone point out what section of the relevant regulation/standard say's moulded plugs of this type must be fused. Is it in BS1363 somewhere?

Jean-Claude Juncker - he's the man responsible for permitting the import of chinese junk

OK - please explain which regulations dealing with the importers of electrical goods which are less strict and/or less well enforced than they would be if we were not in the EU.

Feel free to be truthful, verifiable, and factual.

After you have done that, please put forward a credible explanation of how after we have left the EU, imports of these sorts of things will cease, and what the timetable and priorities will be for the enactment of the new legislation, and the necessary funding of the relevant bodies to enforce it.

Explain what?

They won't cease, why would they? Any country is free to manufacture whatever it likes, including dodgy IEC cables. It is up to the importer / distributer / domestic salesman to ensure he is buying the correct goods for sale in his respective country. This may be a little unfair on the importer who trusts the foreign manufacturer not to lie about whether it is fused or not, but unfortunately that's the way the law works.
