They were carried out but I guess those engineers assumed they had
been handed over correctly installed equipment and never thought to
check the relay rating, pity they aren't brightly colour coded.


Given that there appear to be only two different ratings, an obvious
question is, "Why not?"


The cost of producing the item? Perhaps they aren't made?

You'd hope that the maintenance engineers actually bothered to read things.
Perhaps if the correct colour code was yellow they might stuff a banana in
by mistake.
