Electrical Supplies

Everyday electrical components are among the most frequently flagged for non-compliance and danger.

These low-cost, high-risk items often include:

• Chargers with unapproved plugs or pins
• Counterfeit branded power supplies
• Loose or overheating USB cables
• Extension leads with incorrect fuse ratings
• Adaptors without shutters or compliance markings

FOLOUP highlights these components early, as they are often the root cause of electrical fires and shocks in homes.

Key Areas of Concern

• Fake CE / UKCA logos
• Dangerous re-sellers on online marketplaces
• Second-hand goods sold without testing
