2. With Audio cables, the specified length must be the actual cord length, not including the connector plugs. For example a "1 Metre" cable must actually have 1 Metre of cable.
3. or declared articles, check that any change to cord length does not invalidate the Approval certificate. (Eg, buyers doing a "special" extra-cord-length version of an existing Power Board for a special promotion).
