International plugs and sockets

Chris Pearson
As we leave the EU, with all its standardization, I am bound to wonder why plugs and sockets have not been subject to this process. It isn't even that we have our funny square pins and the rest have round ones. Type C (2 pin) is common, but earthed plugs are mostly type E or F. IEC site.


Oh well, too late now!

    That's a possibility, but:


    (a) there might be a knock-on effect on the size of the standard socket-outlet in the same way, even if it's only the minimum depth of a backbox


    and


    (b) It would require ALL existing unfused socket-outlets supplied by 32 A protective devices to be replaced.
