Electrical Apparatus which may Constitute an Electrical Hazard

Prohibition

Pursuant to regulation 8 of the Electrical Wiring Regulations 1976, notice is hereby given that the accessory described below may in my opinion constitute an electrical hazard, and is therefore prohibited from use in New Zealand.

Description: An adaptor, being of a two pin flat pin to two-pin parallel or round pin non-polarised socket type.

The prohibited adaptor is that which has one or more of the following faults:

a. Not marked with the manufacturer’s name or trade mark;

b. Not marked with the rated voltage and current;

c. Has a clearance from pin to edge of housing of less than 9 mm as specified in NZS 198;

d. Is made in two parts where the two halves are not adequately secured together.

The possible electrical hazards are:

a. The inadequate clearance which could result in fingers (particularly those of children) accidentally contacting live parts while the adaptor is being inserted or withdrawn from a socket outlet;

b. The two parts can easily be parted thereby exposing live parts.

Every person who sells or offers for sale any apparatus, materials or accessories which in the opinion of the Secretary of Energy constitutes or may constitute an electrical hazard commits an offence and shall be liable on summary of conviction to a fine not exceeding $200.

Dated at Wellington this 22nd day of September 1988.

P. J. McCARTHY, Acting Secretary of Energy.
