No test house is allowed to ignore...

It seems (from the *long* discussion) that some vendors are under the impression accessible metal parts outside double insulation - wood screws, perhaps, floating, with no connection inside it - also fall outside the requirement.

I may be wrong;  it's hard to visualize the UUT from the posts I've seen.
