Actually, I think there is some regulation about devices coming with moulded plugs so I'm not sure that is a good example.
The same applies to electrical wiring, I'm not allowed to do many of the tasks I would want with my wiring because I'm not "qualified". Nor was I allowed to fit my hot water tank because it is connected directly to the cold water supply.
I'm loathe to complain about these rules because in many ways we have improved our lives with health and safety legislation. It's comparatively rare for people to die during the course of their work or due to a fire in their home.
