Second hand equipment supplied in the course of business to a consumer, including domestic electrical devices manufactured before 1994 and supplied online, are within scope of the Plugs and Sockets Regulations 1994. Any plugs attached to such electrical devices must comply with the Regulations including conforming to the relevant British Standard or providing an equivalent level of safety.
