Default Separate current transformer?

A repair café is being set up in my home town, and the organisers have sent me a guide to safety written by the original promoters. It states in slightly odd English that for safety, electrical appliances must not be plugged directly into the mains, but through a "separate current transformer" that has no earth connection, which prevents "unilateral body connection to live parts". Any idea what they mean? Are they talking about an isolation transformer?
