Hi guys,
I'm looking for some in country insight on Denmark, Switzerland and Israel.
*
Denmark (Type K or Type F):
* My understanding is the country regulations used to require Type F
plugs for appliances but have since been expanded to accept Type F (Schuko)
outlets and plugs
*
I'm told Type K remains the most common outlet type in the country. But I
can't seem to find data confirming that.
*
I'm seeing an issue - A Type F plug will fit into a Type K outlet, but then a
grounded product will not be protected. If you have a grounded product, is it
sufficient to stipulate to be sure to use the grounded outlet?
* Switzerland (Type J):
* My understanding is Swiss regulations require Type J outlets and Type
J plugs for appliances
*
I'm told Swiss regulations restrict the import and/or sale of appliances with
any plug type other than Type J
*
My understanding is that the regulations are not strongly enforced and
therefore it is common practice for manufacturers to sell Type F plug devices
into the country and rely on end users to use plug adapters or to sell their
products with adapters.
*
Can anyone offer insight on this?
* Israel (Type H):
* SII regulations require Type H outlets and Type H plugs for appliances
*
SII regulations restrict the import and/or sale of appliances with any plug
type other than Type H
*
Is it common practice for importers to add an adaptor to the product so it
complies?
Any insight on any of these country specifics would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards and Be Safe,
John
