Ragner,
With the case of ironing appliances and other such heating appliances, are cords not sheathed in silicone rubber, in Europe?
What I mean is, any appliances that have directly exposed heating surfaces, where the cord could come into contact with the heating surfaces?
Sure, if you want to leave an iron sitting on it's cord, you get all you deserve, but using 75C or 90° PVC flex around hot surfaces, just seems really stupid.
