New requirements for socket outlets in South Africa


I wonder if they considered stipulating double pole switches on the sockets?


Presumably they prefer sockets that are compatible with European equipment than UK equipment.

    Their regs do not change as fast as ours   as this article says  In South Africa, there have been four Wiring Codes since 1922, which influence the interpretation and application of the rules in today’s code of practice.  

     This article        discusses the history of earth leakage protection in SA, in some form it has been a requirement for a long time, with gradually increasing scope.
