The Filters I bought, were specifically asked for use in the Netherlands and
Belgium.
I had to wait for several months before they came.
There is NO CE mark whatsoever.
The two housing halves are just clipped together.
With your hands, one can easily open the housings, without any tools.
Just with your fingers.
If these filters were CE approved, they should be marked so, which is NOT
the case.
So, I regard them as NOT CE approved, and therefore not suitable for the
mainland of Europe.
Seen the manco's, I cannot imagine that they are CE approved.
Be aware, I am not talking about the american version, because I do not know
these.
I only speak about the ones I ordered and paid for, for use in the Benelux.
I can also state, that the back has those 2 round thin contact pins.
But the front has 8 (eight) openings, among them typical english holes.
One filter has only the two round openings connected; the other one has also
the two flat english pins connected.
So, with one filter, one goes from 2 round pins to 2 round opening.
With the other, one goes from 2 round pins to 2 round pins and also 2 flat
english pins.
No grounding pins.
I still think that they are not safe according to our standards.
Selling them here is an offence in itsself.
