UK standard plugs specifically refer to two-prong plugs that conform to the British Electrical Safety Standard (BS 1363), primarily used for powering household and light industrial equipment in the UK and some former colonies.
Their core design includes two flat prongs (live and neutral wires), with no grounding pin, suitable for power systems with a rated voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50Hz. Depending on the application scenario and safety level,
the core parameters of the UK standard two-prong plug include: rated voltage 230V (±10%), rated current 13A (household) or 16A (industrial), prong spacing 18mm±0.5mm, and prong length 17mm±0.3mm. All products must pass the needle flame test (burning time ≤30 seconds), temperature rise test (prong temperature rise ≤45K under 13A load), and withstand voltage test (2500V/1 minute without breakdown) specified in BS 1363.
