[PSES] Plugs in South Africa

[Dan Roman, N.C.E.]

Group,

A few questions on South Africa power plugs.  I have been looking through SANS 164 described plugs and it appears that SANS 164-2 Sheet 2-7 describes the Europlug mechanically, though not by direct reference to CEE 7/16..  Does anyone know if a class II  household appliance with a Europlug is acceptable to NRCS in South Africa?  Are outlets commonly available in homes?  Is power cord wiring and ENEC on the plug accepted?

The SANS 164-1 plug is probably the one in widespread use but I am trying to avoid a new plug configuration if possible.

Regards,
