Thought about this plug, but CEE77 fits German CEE74, so could be polarity reversal? Some of my custom products only have line fused (customer's requirements), so cannot allow my factory to ship affected Class I stuff with this cord.

Quite a number of safety standards class polarity reversal as 'normal'. Also, the Schuko reversible plug is widely used across Europe, so if your product has a detachable mains lead, it very probably WILL be used with a lead having a Schuko plug.

Your customers are not wise.

So when will EU/EFTA code get these plugs and sockets on the same sheet of heavy metal music? This seems to be a good excuse as any for another war...

It is very unlikely that there will be any further attempts to unify 230 V mains wall-sockets and plugs.
