Sockets AND PLUGES PROBLMES
IN THE SAUDI MARKET
The unstandard sockets and plugs could cause many problems not only for human being but also for buildings , factories …..etc and may be all of towns .
Many disasters were happened in everywhere around the world because of bad connections .

So, MOWE and SASO cooperated to carry out various tests on 115 random samples from ( sockets , plugs , power bars , and adaptors ) according to the flowing tables :
Test results of Socket samples
Test results of Socket samples
Test results of electric connection& adaptor samples
Test results of electric connection& adaptor samples
Test results of electric plug, double socket and outer frame samples
This study gives the following indicators :
Local samples are not exceeding 20 %.
Complied specimens of socket not exceed 20%.
Complied specimens of plug not exceed 10%.
Complied specimens of power bars not exceed zero %.
Complied specimens of adaptor not exceed zero %.
The results above show that the power bars and adaptors are the very danger things and can cause a disaster in any time when they not comply with the standard.
