Scope

This part of BS 1363 specifies requirements for 13 A fused plugs having insulating sleeves on line and neutral pins, for household, commercial and light industrial purposes, with particular reference to safety in normal use. The plugs are suitable for the connection of portable appliances, sound-vision
equipment, luminaires, etc. in a.c. circuits only, operating at voltages not exceeding 250Vr.m.s.and frequencies from 50 Hz to 60 Hz. Additional requirements are included for plugs suitable for electric vehicle charging.

GNGPL 3611_AL

Requirements are specified for plugs incorporating a fuse link conforming to BS 1362:1973+A3:2021.
The plugs might be rewirable or non-rewirable complete with flexible cable. Categories of plugs are specified covering normal and rough use. Rewirable plugs are intended for use with flexible cables conforming to the relevant parts of BS EN 50525 (see Clause2), having conductor cross-sectional areas from 0.5 mm² to 1.5 mm² inclusive. See 20.1.
Non-rewirable plugs are intended for use with flexible cables having conductor cross-sectional areas not exceeding 1.5 mm². See 20.4.

This standard also applies to non-rewirable 13 A plugs 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 socket-outlet conforming to BS 1363-2:2023.
A plug is mechanical by nature of construction. The product is therefore immune from electromagnetic interference.
Plugs incorporating switches and indicator lamps are included within the scope of this part of BS 1363.
Plugs incorporating electronic components detailed in Annex A are included within the scope of this part of BS 1363.
Recommendations for plug in equipment incorporating BS 1363-1 plug pins are given in Annex B.

Descriptation

Socket test samples through using the gauge to check whether the relative position of the hole, the size and depth of the hole, and whether the socket joint surface had fit to the standard requirements. There are two specifications of the go gauge, large and small.

1. Application

This plug and socket test gauge is mainly used to test and inspect whether the structure and size of plugs and sockets conform to BS 1363 standards. And the mainly application industries is electronics, electrical appliances, plugs and sockets and other similar areas.

2. Features

Gauge dimensions, tolerances, material, hardness, surface roughness conform to the standards requirements;
Material hardness is more than 50HRC; Material thermal expansion coefficient is small,dimensions and tolerances is stable and reliable
