Fascinating Must-Listen TechCentral Video Interview For South Africans About The Adoption Of The International Electrical Socket Standard And Why Countries Use Different Plugs

South Africa has a new standard for electrical sockets and plugs. Known as SANS 164-2, the standard, developed by the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS), replaces SANS 164-1 (the large, three-pin plugs used in the country for decades).

In this episode of the podcast (watch it below), TechCentral is joined by Gianfranco Campetti, who has played an instrumental role at the SABS in helping define SANS 164-2, to discuss the implications of the standard, why it’s needed and what it means for consumers.

Actually SA has made some minor improvements in its design specification too.
