Legally the regulations refer to appliances intended for domestic use. See
http://www.hmso.gov.uk/si/si1994/Uksi_19941768_en_1.htm Section 11(1)(d).
It is not uncommon for any equipment intended for connection to a domestic
power supply to have a plug fitted even if it is for professional use.

If you have any evidence of this, please tell me, because the DTI have
given assurances that it ('frowning') is not the case: professional
products don't need plugs.
