That's rubbish, Sir.


On Class 2 (non-earthed) equipment you should find both the CE mark
and
the 'double-square' symbol, which indicates Class 2 construction.

No it does not, it indicates that the manufacturer _claims_ it meets
class II requirements. Nothing more. While much kit really does
conform, IME much does not. Switchers normally do, home stereos mostly
dont.

It is possible that the original designs do conform, but that during
production they then decide to leave out some unnecessary bits.
