The ASTA Diamond Mark is one of the few certification marks that the United Kingdom (UK) authorities accept for 3-pin plugs. UK law requires that 3-pin plugs be certified against BS1363 by an accredited certification body like Intertek. The ASTA Diamond Mark fulfils the mandatory requirements for the approval of 3-pin plugs to BS1363 for sale in the UK and over 40 other countries. The ASTA Diamond mark is sought out by purchasers and specifiers of electrical transmission products as evidence of product safety. The ASTA Diamond Mark shows that a product complies with National, European or International standards. The ASTA Mark also satisfies the requirement of the General Product Safety Directive.
