I make simple wooden toys, which I sell at craft markets. I know that they are safe, do I need to have them tested?
I want to make and sell soap and other toiletries. What are the rules about testing and labelling these products?
I've got some second hand furniture that I want to use in a flat I rent out. How do I know if it is suitable?
I've imported some American cushions and furniture to sell in my shop. The labels say that they comply with US Regulations. Does this mean that they are OK to sell in the UK?

No, you can't. All electrical items sold in the UK that are intended to be connected to the mains supply by means of a plug must be fitted with a standard 3-pin plug. You have a choice of two actions, if you don t want to send the lamps back to France. You can either replace the plugs with correctly fitted and fused 3-pin plugs or you can fit a conversion plug to each item. This conversion plug will fully encase the 2-pin plug and should be of a type that cannot be removed without the use of a tool
