Don't get caught out on the NEW British Standards for Travel Adapters
The single most important factor when selecting products for promotional use by clients is ensuring that they are safe and comply with all relevant standards – you need to be sure they can be supplied without fear of issues in the future, or a client demanding to return products.
It is vitally important that everyone who supplies promotional merchandise is aware of the new British Standard that covers travel adapters – BS8546.
To summarise, this standard requires that all travel adapters to have a fuse of at least 5A (but not more than 13A) and be unable to accept a 3 pin (earthed) plug unless the adapter itself has an earth connection.
The SKROSS® PRO range has long been the industries leading 3 pin travel adapter and is therefore fully compliant with BS8546.
Promotional Product Expo 2017
As authorised SKROSS® distributors, we will be exhibiting their range of BS8546 compliant travel adapters at the PPE Exhibition in the RICOH Arena, Coventry on 25th-26th January.
Find us on Stand M21 where we will be only too happy to discuss the implications of this new standard on the products you should offer to your clients in 2017.
However, in the meantime don’t get caught out – we are here to help!
