I am getting quite bored of the EU referendum, but something James Dyson said piqued my curiosity. He seemed to be referring in passing to having to fit appliances with various plugs. But why do plugs have to be fitted at all? I distinctly remember about 20 years ago you had to fit your own plugs to appliances. It wasn't hard, but presumably some people did it wrong and it might have been unsafe. But when exactly did this change and what is the legal requirement to fit plugs before appliances are offered for sale? Is the original source EU law?
