Regulation 102—Notice of Prohibition of the Importation, Sale or Use of a ‘Hot Glue Gun’

Pursuant to Regulation 102 of the Electricity Regulations
1997, and acting under delegated authority from the Chief
Executive of the Ministry of Economic Development,
pursuant to section 41 of the State Sector Act 1988,
I, Graham Boxall, Manager, Operations, Ministry of
Consumer Affairs, hereby notify that the following electrical
appliance, being a hot glue gun, as described below, is
prohibited from importation, sale or use in New Zealand.
This prohibition is to take effect on and from the date
following the date of publication of this notice in the
New Zealand Gazette.

Description

The glue gun is constructed of two “L” shaped black plastic
moulded parts held together by screws.
The glue gun is identified by the marking “GLUE GUN
110-220V 10W”.
The front of the glue gun packaging is marked with “10013
HOT GLUE GUN”, “▀ Great for all jobs around the house”,
“▀ QUALITY GUARANTEED”. The rear of the packaging
is marked with a barcode numbered “9 330700 100139”,
“MADE IN CHINA”.
The supply plug is a two pin, flat pin, parallel pin plug, not
compatible with the New Zealand plug/socket system.
A sample of the glue gun was obtained from a “Just $2”
outlet at Northlands Shopping Mall, Papanui, Christchurch,
although the glue guns may also be available elsewhere in
New Zealand.\n
Details of Hazard

The appliance constitutes or may constitute an electrical
hazard in that:

• the insulation system of the appliance is reliant on basic
  insulation only. This may constitute an electric shock
  hazard to the user; and

• the plug fitted may constitute an electric shock hazard
  if distorted to fit into a standard New Zealand
  socket-outlet, by having inadequate protection against
  direct contact with live parts.

Reasons for Prohibition

The glue gun does not meet the safety requirements of
Electricity Regulation 69, in that:

• the glue gun is deemed to be unsafe by Regulation
  76A (1) (c) – “its unearthed conductive parts are separated
  from live parts only by basic insulation”; and

• the plug fitted to the glue gun is deemed to be unsafe, by
  Regulation 76A (1) (b) – “it has inadequate protection
  against direct or indirect contact”.

Accordingly, I issue this prohibition.

Signed this 3rd day of August 2004.
