Talk:IEC 60906-1

replies: text: According to , Brazil decided in 2001 to replace its old mixture of Schuko, US, Italian and other plugs with IEC 906-1 as the new national standard (NBR 14136). Manufacturers are not allowed to sell equipment with any other plugs starting in 2009. So there will soon be a large market for IEC 906-1 plugs and sockets. Markus Kuhn 19:57, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Although I'm sure that the Brazilian wiring-device manufacturers will continue selling old-style replacement plugs and sockets (American and European types) for decades to come, just because of the large existing base of current devices and appliances.

replies: text: Fours years on and this is not the case, american style plugs are impossible to find right now and if you buy a new house or an appliance like an UPS, you are going to have to change to the new standard yourself.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.67.241.160 (talk) 17:47, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Are these plugs and sockets actually available?

message: that they would go to the trouble of making it easy to design transition sockets but then officially discourage the use of such sockets? Also many such safety issues exist with certain combinations of existing european plug/socket types (mainly beause of the weird earthing systems germany and france used to allow use of earthed plugs in non earthed sockets).

replies: text: Its a strange one alright ! Surely transition sockets are a better (and safer) solution than faffing around with adaptors (often of dubious quality/design) and would be more likely to drive acceptance of the standard globally. Would any South African readers care to give us a picture on how the transition is going (or not) there and how they deal with the inconvenience of different sockets in older buildings (or even within the same building) ? Its also seems odd that the question of fusing and compatibility with BS1363 style ring circuits was never explored (or if it was explored and rejected what the reasoning was) 81.141.224.109 (talk) 11:56, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  anyone else think it is a bit weired 

message: According to several news articles (and the INTN itself) I found and translated, Paraguay might be on the path to introducing IEC 60906-1.
The national version/translation of the standard has been developed by the government's institute for technology  INTN.
I have to say, my Spanish is not good enough to understand whether the standard is really on it's way or whether this is just a vague annoucement. Maybe a Spanish speaking native can shed light onto the matter?
