Ah, maybe i should have been more specific here. Ill try again-BS7671 is of course the standard for installations. It requires socket-outlets for a.c. to comply with BS1363, with a few exceptions listed in 533.1.5.If you are an electrician tasked with installing these devices, Which do you feel is the most relevant standard to work to BS1363 or BS7671:2008?
Neither. They do however complement each other.Are they in agreement with each other, or do they contradict each other?
From both standards, with respect to the definition of what a socket outlet is (including the possibility of a single device containing the facility for more than one plug to be connected at the same time), do they agree or disagree?
err, let me look back a few pagesI wouldn't be in that situation, not being an electrician. However if someone were to ask the question (what was it again?)If you were in a customer house, having just installed one of these devices, and then this question is asked, how would you choose to respond to the customer?
I would reply along the lines that a dual 13A socket-outlet, whatever the make, may reach an uncomfortable temperature if two 13A loads are connected to it for a long period.
About the same as me, and then i might just finish your sentence by adding "so I would advise against doing so"
Safe advice, not confusing to the customer, everyones happy, home in time for tea
