Electrical Item(I.e: Light) Purchase From Taobao Affect On Fire Insurance?

[Orb 4]

Hi guys, anyone know if we purchase light or any electrical item without any safety endorsement(http://www.spring.gov.sg/QualityStandards/CPS/Documents/Guide_on_safety_mark_use.pdf)from Singapore and house caught fire due to the appliance or light. Will fire insurance cover the damage? Is there even such rules around?

DO NOT buy light from taobao,

1. Voltage difference. All lights from China designed for 220V, but SG is 230V

2. No Safety label on the light means no safety guarantee.

3. No PUB endorsement, means it was not tested by PUB.

BTW, I bought one from taobao last Jun, cannot use any more now.
