Item Subject: IEC320 and Double insulation Hans, If your product is designed to be double insulated (i.e. CLASS II EQUIPMENT) then why not use an IEC 2 prong receptacle in your product? Why are your messing around with 3 prong receptacles? BTW, Amendment 4 has modified the wording in clause 1.2.4.2 for CLASS II EQUIPMENT: change from "... no provision for protective earthing" to "...no reliance for protective earthing". Best regards, Frank Dominguez

(assume that my product is designed to be double insulated). Best Regards Hans
