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!

    Re my comment about the fuses looking rather like counterfeits was based on the fuse clearly shown in the picture in clause 3.6.2 which compares with the fake fuse shown on https://www.pat-testing-training.net/articles/fake-fuses.php and meets the description "The shiny metal end caps are also a good indicator that the fuse is not genuine. Genuine Bussmann fuses have a dull matt end cap. This fake fuse also has a larger than normal dimple in the end of the cap."

    Of course this is not definitive so I am not going to make any definite claims.
