BS 1363 13 A plug tops

Former Community Member
Former Community Member

I need to find the regulations which permit or prohibit the wiring of two mains voltage devices into a single 13 A plug top. I have a C & G 2377 PAT certificate and am looking to test some equipment for a local model Railway  club. 

I noticed that they have a couple of places where they have wired two 12 volt ‘car battery’ chargers into a single 13 A plug top. This just does not look right but I don't know where the ‘regulations’ state this.

Assuming it is not correct, what would be the easiest way to wire this correctly? Certainly in one place there is only a single outlet socket available currently.
