| Jan 12, 2013 at 6:14 | comment | added | Seemingly So | The reason my team needed to judge safety is simply because there aren't any safety indications on the device. Presumably if there were we would just cross-reference those. Clearly because the onus is on us I have taken on the project to evaluate the equipment. About "safe to use in your jurisdiction", this statement amuses me, it seems you are unfamiliar with the world outside the "civilized west". Also, on your price comment, that is a bit amusing too, but @AnindoGhosh has nailed that already, the economics of the far east differ from what you and I are accustomed to. | |

To add to that, the cost difference between "branded" i.e. imported, certified accessories, and unmarked "Chinese deathtraps", is ridiculous. 200% to 500% mark-up on US list price is common for branded goods, and the no-names are priced under 10% of US prices. Therefore pretty much everyone here buys the uncertified adapters if their original one has died. Not condoning this, just pointing out economic reality. | |
