DEAS 495-3: 2024, Plugs, socket-outlets, adaptors and connection units — Part 3: Specification for adaptors
This part of Draft East African Standard specifies requirements for adaptors having insulating sleeves on the line and neutral plug pins and suitable for use with socket-outlets complying with EAS 495-2, with particular reference to safety in normal use. Adaptors specified in this part of EAS 495 are intended for household, commercial and light industrial purposes. The adaptors 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.
Adaptors incorporating electronic components detailed in Annex A are included within this part of EAS 495.
This standard also applies to shaver adaptors which have the earth pin replaced with a similarly dimensioned protrusion made of insulating material designated as an insulated shutter opening device (ISOD) designed to operate the shutter mechanism of a socket-outlet conforming to EAS 495‑2.
Adaptors conforming to this standard are shuttered and therefore do not require the use of additional means to shield the current carrying contacts when no plug is present in the adaptor socket-outlets.
Assemblies comprising a plug and one or more portable socket-outlets connected together by a flexible cord or cable are not considered to be adaptors according to this part of EAS 495. Devices incorporating switches, transformers, timers, thermostats or other control means are outside the scope of this part of EAS 495.
NOTE 1 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
NOTE 2 In order to maintain safety and interchangeability with plugs and socket-outlets it is necessary that these products comply with the requirements of Clause 9, Clause 12 and Clause 13, however their body outline need not be limited at a distance of 6.35 mm from the plug engagement face.
An adaptor is mechanical by nature of construction. The product is therefore immune from electromagnetic interference. An adaptor that does not incorporate electronic devices does not emit intolerable electromagnetic interference, since significant electromagnetic disturbances are only generated during insertion and withdrawal which are not continuous. This East African Standard does not cover:
a) Direct plug-in devices
b) Automatic electric controls
c) Travel adaptors.
This standard applies to all adaptors in East African Region
