    Selling non-type G (rectangular pin) products will be prohibited from January 2019. All new electrical installations must use type G 13-amp sockets. Using round pin sockets and selling non-compliant extension cords will be prohibited. Useful tips include using adapters for old appliances in new sockets, and replacing sockets when needed rather than rushing replacement. All engineers and contractors must specify, install and approve only type G 13-amp sockets in new and existing electrical work.

    rectangular pin plug.

    Useful Tips

    fix a new appliance (rectangular pin plug) to an old (round pin) socket. A 5 A-13 A adaptor
    can be used to fix an old appliance (round pin plug) to a new (rectangular pin) socket.

    There is no need to rush and replace them to comply with the new standard. Whenever a
    replacement is needed, the new socket will be of 13 ampere (rectangular pin).

    We draw the attention of all engineers, architects, quantity surveyors, contractors, inspectors and
    testing engineers to the requirement that all new electrical installations or extensions to existinq
    installations must adhere to the single standard for plugs and sockets. That means, all electrical
    installations should be designed, built, tested and certified only with 13 ampere (type G) sockets.
    The traditional round pin 5 ampere and 15 ampere sockets should NOT be specified. installed or
    approved.

    Replacing sockets in old installations: lt is most likely that an old 5 ampere round pin socket
    is served by a circuit wired with 1 mm2 wire, protected by a 5 ampere fuse or a 6 ampere miniature
    circuit breaker. lf the 5 ampere socket needs replacement, only 13 ampere sockets will be
    available in shops. To warn users, a special type G socket (rectangular pin) with embossed
    lettering "6 A Max" will be available in electrical shops.

    1
    Plugs, sockets, adaptors, multi-sockets and extension cords with any shape of pins other than 13 ampere (rectangular
    pin) are deemed to be non-standard items. All 13 ampere plugs, sockets, adaptors, multi-sockets and extension cords
    must comply with the corresponding Sri Lanka Standards.
