I think they need to crack down on adaptors - there are some really dodgy ones out there.
I've seen some dire BS1363 > CEE 7/7 too - grossly underrated, or that do not properly complete the earth connection.
Why can't they be rated 13A and fused if CEE 7/7 > BS1363
and 16A to CEE 7/7
It seems to me the manufacturers are basing designs on ancient assessments of Euro and other sockets.
i.e. rather than safety, they're trying for something that fits any ancient 2-pin European socket, so they put in tiny pins.
