In the UK we have a standard which is kind of the authority of ensuring items confirm and are safe. These plugs will be BS 1363 (BS means British Standard). If you Google that you’ll find the details.
The sockets have an internal mechanism which only opens when the top ground plug which is longer pushes the live and neutral open while they are so far in that they are insulated.
It really is a very well thought out design. It’s not often I get to feel proud being British but this design is one that I do!



Yeah I don’t know. Assuming you can legally, that it meets regs, then you need to account for the mains voltage and frequency. These are made for 230v 50Hz.
