In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are
provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided
on a double-insulated product nor should a means for grounding
be added to the product. Servicing a double-insulated product
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should
only be done by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for
a double-insulated product must be identical to those parts in the
product. A double insulated product is marked with the words
“DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED”.
The symbol may also be marked on the product.
