Is it permissible under IEE regs to install Europlug (continental type) sockets in a domestic house in uk instead of standard BS 3 pin sockets?
Why would you want to install euro sockets?
If the wiring is to BS7671 then Eric is correct. However the building regulations do allow the choice of another countries set of regulations to satisfy the safety requirements. I know of one person who persuaded his BCO to accept German regulations as an alternative, so that he could have a socket in the bathroom.
In general, you would have to have the gift of the gab to get this agreement though.
The Germans don't mention the war or the dangers of that socket
What is it you actually want to achieve?Why would you want to install euro sockets?
I don't...I just want to know if it is permissible.
