Paul,
I never knew that the American GFCI had a trip current of only 4-6mA, I assumed that it was 30mA, like ours, this is half of the 10mA level we use over here for Patient Care areas in Medical Facilities!.
Regarding inspections, I think that these days, the Dollar(or Pound!), seems to be more important, than silly ideas about Public safety.
I guess this is why the buck keeps getting passed between legislatory authorities,
it's the old NIMBY attitude again.
