Laptop charging trolley

The trolleys are predominantly used in schools that have replaced their traditional static ICT[1] suites of desktop computers with laptops, but do not have enough plug sockets in their buildings to charge all of the devices.

Schools, especially those with open plan designs, are often prime targets for thieves and laptops, netbooks and tablets can easily be concealed and removed from buildings.

The body stated that any laptop charging trolley that had not been through the above process, or been affixed with a CE Certification mark, should not go on sale within the European Economic Area (EEA).

Despite these health and safety concerns,[7] the HSE made clear that not all laptop charging trolleys are dangerous, only those that do not conform to CE Certification.

The organization advised that schools and other companies intending to purchase charging trolleys should ensure these products display the CE mark.
