Its not according to the lads that did our talking newspaper studio. However
some of the iec cables were rejected due to the poor strain reliefs and a
couple for having unshrouded plugs on them.

You can fit a plug up side down to open the shutters so its easy
for kids to poke stuff inside the live.

I though it was illegal but maybe the law has changed?

Maybe the shutters are there you just can't see them.

I;ve one on my desk and from the same angle I can;t see the shutters
unless I stand above the block, then I can see the red shutters. This
block has been passed by our PAT tester.


But do they open when you put a plug in upside down?

Yes, you have to force them a bit.
I didnlt think that being able to release the shutters by sticking
something in the Earth socket wasa PAT test fail.
