Hi John, For Continental Europe, my company has three plug types for continental Europe; the most common being Type F, the Swiss plug for Switzerland and the Italian plug for Italy. These are products with an IEC 60320 C13/C14 appliance coupler, so customers could easily replace the cord if they wanted to. I do not know if those customers do switch cords after receiving our products. I spend half of 2006 working in Denmark one week each month. Even back then, the Schuko was common. The hotels I stayed in and the offices I worked in had Schuko receptacles. My company has been shipping products with the Schuko plug to Denmark, and I am not aware of any issues. It's a small country of only 6 million people. With its Jutland peninsula attached to the German mainland, cross-border travel and trade has been common for a long time. My company does ship Class I products to Switzerland with their national plug. I can't state how strongly regulations are enforced, but I would expect that with large borders and common languages with France and Germany, you might find products from those countries. My recommendation would be to provide a Swiss plug though to be in compliance with the regulations. My closest friend in Switzerland lives on the Italian border in Chiasso, so I mostly saw Swiss plugs there. (The cross-border trade was mostly Italians coming in to Switzerland to put their money into Swiss banks.) I didn't think to ask my son to look at plugs and outlets when he went on a trip to Israel a few years ago, so I don't have much first-hand knowledge. My company ships products with the Israeli plug to Israel. I won't speak much on whether or not to provide an adaptor. I don't have experience with that as I've only worked for two companies over the past 26 years, and both had policies requiring providing a plug meeting national regulations, and policies against providing adaptors with plugs.

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 John Allen | President & CEO | Product Safety Consulting, Inc.
