A.2.1 The new definition of Travel adaptor adds the configuration of plugs and sockets to make the definition more clear

Portable accessories constructed as a whole or in multiple parts, including parts of plugs or sockets in accordance with Figure 2.1 of AS/NZS 3112, and parts of plugs or sockets other than those in accordance with Figure 2.1 of AS/NZS 3112.

A.3.1 Socket portion requirements

Parts of sockets that accept flat pin plugs in accordance with AS/NZS 3112 Figure 2.1 shall comply with the requirements of AS/NZS 3112, including all dimensional requirements.

(a) Complies with the requirements of AS/NZS 3112 except for dimensions;

(b) Comply with the dimensional requirements of the corresponding national standards.

Socket parts with a set of holes that accept plugs conforming to BS 1363 require the addition of protective doors to the socket parts.

As shown below:

The socket portion may incorporate multiple sets of apertures, however only two sets of apertures are accepted with connecting edges.

That is, for an aperture group containing connecting edges, only connecting edges are allowed between the two live apertures, the two neutral apertures, and the two ground apertures (if present), see Figure A.1, (a) meets the requirements, (b) does not meet the requirements.

The real thing is as follows:

The connection hole group shall comply with the requirements of AS/NZS 3112, and the dimensions shall comply with the corresponding national standard requirements of the socket part, except for the connection area.

The mobile adapter socket portion shall comply with the limitations of Section 4, items (e) and (f):
