But if I hire an electrician (or even wire something myself, which I've been known to do) I don't have time to check whether the wires are aluminum instead of copper. Or if their insulation is flame-retardant. I rely on regulations and inspections and even the good will of the manufacturers.
- AsyncAwait 8y agoYou presumably rely on several indicators that you have learned to look for when doing this type of work. There are several indicators in an URL that indicate the likelihood of it being legit, including proper spelling, valid SSL, reasonable path given the activity etc. You presumably rely on brands, yes? Same with the URL, make sure it is in fact the 'brand' you're looking for. Am not saying it's 100% foolproof as buying counterfeits isn't hard either. But at least do the bare minimum to check.
- neolefty 8y agoYep, I do make some kind of checks. Mostly I rely on the label and brand though. And TrickURI is a kind of label verifier. To make sure I'm not accidentally buying H0me D3p0t brand nomex.
