Stamping and labelling of approved electrical appliances
327 Stamping and labelling of approved electrical appliances
No person shall sell, hire or expose for sale or hire or advertise for sale or hire or cause to be sold or hired or exposed for sale or hire or advertised for sale or hire any electrical appliance for which a certificate of approval has been issued unless the electrical appliance is permanently and clearly stamped or labelled with the mark, words, symbols or figures or all or any of them as the case may be shown as the approvals marking on the certificate of approval of the electrical appliance. For the purpose of these regulations an electrical appliance shall be deemed to have been stamped if the approvals marking is moulded, embossed, engraved, incised or indented or otherwise permanently marked on the electrical appliance to the satisfaction of the Director.
If in the opinion of the Director as notified on the certificate of approval of an electrical appliance, the electrical appliance is too small to be stamped in compliance with subregulation (1) or for any other sufficient reason should not be so stamped, the electrical appliance shall be deemed to comply with this regulation if it is packed by the manufacturer or applicant in a container or wrapping marked, or to which container or wrapping is affixed, a label marked with —
the approvals marking on the certificate of approval issued for the electrical appliance; and
the nature of the electrical appliance.
An applicant to whom has been issued a certificate of approval endorsed with any conditions as set out in regulation 326 shall clearly label the electrical appliance for which the certificate of approval was issued with a label setting out the conditions under which the certificate was issued.
No person shall sell or hire or expose for sale or hire any electrical appliance which has been approved on conditions in accordance with regulation 326(2) unless the person adequately notifies the purchaser or hirer of the conditions.
In respect of an electrical appliance which has not been approved under these regulations, no person shall whilst the appliance remains unapproved —
stamp or label or cause or permit to be stamped or labelled the appliance; or
place or cause or permit the appliance to be placed in any container or wrapping which is stamped or labelled or marked; or
affix or attach or cause or permit to be affixed or attached to the container or wrapping of the appliance a label which is stamped or marked,
with a marking similar to, or so nearly resembling, a marking authorised by the Director as an approvals marking as to be likely to deceive.
