message: === 1. "IEC - World Plugs: Plug Type I". iec.ch ===
The first reference "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AS/NZS_3112#cite_note-1" now points to a dead URL (http://www.iec.ch/worldplugs/typeI.htm) - the IEC website has moved to a single-page application which no longer has unique URLs for each plug type. The best page to link to appears to be https://www.iec.ch/world-plugs/, and then the user must select the Type-I plug type.

message: I've never had a problem, even when they are longer you can still use them in Aus plugs 'the plug' bit just hangs out. Not at all safe (i guess), but still usable.

replies: text: I agree that there is a slight difference in the crows foot angle (having lived in both China and Aust and having had appliances from both in both places).  I would not interchange these plugs for high current loads (such as hair dryers) as either the socket or plug may overheat. 103.6.151.48 (talk) 04:07, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

message: "The active terminal of the Plug is the first pin from the Earth pin in a clockwise direction when viewed from the wiring side"
It isn't 100% clear whether the above statement is supposed to refer to the standard plugs,   or one of the obscure and/or obsolete types mentioned in the sentences preceding the statement.
The active terminal in standard sockets,  is the first one in a clockwise direction when viewed from the room side,  not the wiring side [ inside the wall ].Lathamibird (talk) 21:17, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

message: The AS standard might state it should be 230V @ 50Hz, however most states still have their standard set to 240V @50Hz +/- 6% This means you can get a voltage at the socket up to approx 255VAC - ref - https://www.erawa.com.au/cproot/2372/2/D04%20Electricity%20Industry%20(Network%20Quality%20and%20Reliability%20of%20Supply)%20Code%202005.pdf  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Baradhili (talk • contribs) 00:32, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
