17、 British Standards Institution, and came into effect on 31 August 2016. It wasprepared by Technical Committee PEL/23, Electrical accessories. A list oforganizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to itssecretary.SupersessionThis part of BS 1363 supersedes BS 1363-5:2008, wh
18、ich remains current and willbe withdrawn on 31 August 2019.Information about this documentBS 1363 comprises five parts covering the following: Part 1: Specification for rewirable and non-rewirable 13 A fused plugs; Part 2: Specification for 13 A switched and unswitched socket-outlets; Part 3: Specif
19、ication for adaptors; Part 4: Specification for 13 A fused connection units switched andunswitched; Part 5: Specification for fused conversion plugs.NOTE In order to prevent confusion with BS 1363:1984, the figure andclause numbers have been retained.This new edition of BS 1363-5 incorporates techni
20、cal changes only. It does notrepresent a full review or revision of the standard, which will be undertaken indue course.Presentational conventionsThe provisions of this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type. Itsrequirements are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliary ve
21、rb is“shall”.Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented insmaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.Requirements in this standard are drafted in accordance with Rules for thestructure and drafting of UK standards, subclause J.1.1, which states,Requir
22、ements should be expressed using wording such as: When tested asdescribed in Annex A, the product shall . This means that only those productsthat are capable of passing the specified test will be deemed to conform to thisstandard.Contractual and legal considerationsThis publication does not purport

25、r 13 A, fused, conversion plugs for household, commercial andlight industrial purposes.The scope of the standard covers two-pole plus earth conversion plugs that areeither reusable or non-reusable and that are suitable for the connection ofnon-BS 1363 type plugs, conforming to a recognized standard,
26、 to socket-outletsconforming to BS 1363-2:2016.The scope of this standard is limited to devices with the following characteristics: that have insulating sleeves on line and neutral pins; that have one plug portion and one set of contacts intended to connect toa non-BS 1363 type plug that conforms to
27、 the dimensional requirements ofa standard listed in IEC TR 60083 and not exceeding 13 A; that are suitable for the connection of electrical equipment in a.c. circuitsonly, operating at voltages not exceeding 250 V r.m.s. at 50 Hz; that may have the un-terminated metal earth pin replaced with a simi
28、larlydimensioned insulated shutter opening device (ISOD) designed to operatethe shutter mechanism of a socket-outlet conforming to BS 1363-2:2016.Two categories of conversion plugs are specified, covering normal and roughuse.Conversion plugs specified in this standard are intended for the connection
29、 ofloads to socket-outlets; they are not intended for the connection of electricalpower generators to socket-outlets.Conversion plugs incorporating switches, transformers, thermostats, or othercontrol means are outside the scope of this part of BS 1363.This standard also does not cover: non-BS 1363
30、type conversion plugs, i.e. with a contact set to fit 13 A plugs,and a male plug portion suitable for a non-BS 1363 type socket-outlet; adaptors (see BS 1363-3:2016); or travel adaptors (see BS 8546:2016).2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application
