Ok, Mr. Woodgate, so no good for the Old Country. But why BS1363-2 for
LPS/signal connectors?
That is the point of Scott's original question. BS 1363-2 can be applied
to the mains sockets etc. but IEC/EN/BS EN should be applied to USB and
Ethernet or any other IT-related parts of the product.
"The socket-outlets are suitable for the connection of portable
appliances, sound vision equipment, luminaires, etc. in a.c. circuits
only, operating at voltages not exceeding 250 V r.m.s. at 50 Hz using
plugs in accordance with BS 1363-1:1995"
Is this standard scoped for AC mains stuff only?
Yes.
Or are any sockets/receptacles within the same enclosure scoped for AC
mains buiding code?
I don't think I understand the question. The product in question is a
portable extension board, with a mains plug, a cable and a moulded
enclosure forming 4 or more 13 A sockets, with additional USB, Ethernet
or other IT connectors. It isn't addressed in our 'building code' BS
7671, except, along with everything else not actually fixed to the
building, in general terms.
Also, is there an IEC/EN standard with same tests as BS5733? (You Brits
do remember that 'EU thing'?).
No, because although the 13 A plug/socket is not actually unique to
Britain, it isn't used widely enough to qualify for an IEC standard.
There may be EN or European national standards for 'travel adapters'
based on the 6 A 2-contact 'Europlug' connector and/or the 16 A
3-contact 'Schuko' connector.
