Hi @MitchellMc, @emmadave ,
I was reading a thing from the energy safety division in Australia.
Apparently, that warning must be attached to all electrical equipment, irregardless of how it connects to the mains supply.
Which in itself is quite cumbersome and I think people (consumers) have every reason to be confused.
What is more, is that the product is supplied with socket-outlets, normally, if you didn't have the socket-outlets already installed, you would hire
an electrician that would supply, install and test their own provided sockets.
I think by supplying the sockets with the product, it is inviting people to do their own electrical work, as it is cheaper to do so.
I had no idea that there was a blanket ban on ALL electrical work in Australia, this seems pretty heavy-handed, as here in New Zealand,
you can replace like-for-like switches and socket-outlets.
You can also install new circuits or relocate them, provided the house has new wiring in it and you must have an Inspector connect it at the switchboard.
We use the same voltage over here as Australia and even as a Fire Officer, I don't ever recall a DIY person ever causing either a fire or shock situation
to people in any given house in the last 20 years since the regulations were relaxed.
Sorry I will get off my soap-box now.
Mike T.
