IEC 62368-1 is mandatory for electronics sold in the US, EU and some other countries like Canada, Japan Australia but not UK as of dec 20th 2020.
This covers regulations for classes 1, 2 and 3
The amp in question is bought after dec. 2020 so should have complied to this when sold in the US.
It does not matter if the manufacturer puts stickers or prints on the back or in the manual or on their website, that isn't mandatory.
My point is it should comply to safety standards that were in place when these were sold. This amp clearly wasn't complying.
A question is do the current models comply ?
