Default Re: Another unusual plug and some other questions

Since we can assume commercial products are legislation driven, then three pin plugs must have been marketed to satisfy a requirement for an earthing conductor (cpc).
Earthing of electric kettles in kitchens seems a good place to start, does anyone know which edition of the regs this was first mentioned?
