S.L. 427.51 Art. 7Information requirements.

(1) No person shall supply, offer for supply, agree to supply, expose for supply or possess for supply any electrical accessory, namely any plug, socket-outlet, adaptor, or conversion plug in respect of which the requirements of subregulations (2), (3),

(4) and (5) are not satisfied.

(2) A standard plug or conversion plug of a type approved by a conformity assessment body in accordance with these regulations shall be legibly marked with, or bear a label legibly marked with, words, marks or abbreviations clearly signifying approval by and identifying the body which approved the type in question.

(3) Without prejudice to any requirement of any Maltese, European or International Standard, where it is necessary for the safe operation of any electrical accessory that the user should be aware of any particular characteristic of the accessory, the necessary information shall be given by markings on the accessory itself or, where this is not practicable, in a notice accompanying the accessory.

(4) It shall not be sufficient compliance with this regulation to give information in a language other than Maltese or English.

(5) Information shall not be given in connection with any standard plug or conversion plug by means of a misleading mark or otherwise which purports to indicate or might reasonably be mistaken for an indication that the plug is of a type approved by a particular conformity assessment body or (in the case of a standard plug) conforms to MSA BS 1363, when the plug is not so approved or does not so conform to the standard, or when any approval has been cancelled.
