Hi Brian, You will want the CEE 7/7 for most of Europe. It works in almost any European outlet that doesn't accept one of the three that you mentioned. The BS 1363 covers the UK, Ireland and Malta. The SEV 1011 only covers Switzerland. Make sure your supplier conforms to the new SEV 1011:2009 since Switzerland will require partially insulated pins next year. The CEI 23-16 will work only in Italy.

Where I need ground pin, was thinking of reducing types to CEI23-16, SEV1011, and BS1363A. Is this a stupid idea? Am I missing a major European plug type? thanks, Brian - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
