• I was told by an electrician to try and minimise the usb banks, and never install the sockets with usbs in as there is no regs that cover them, so they can be knocked out to the cheapest possible standard.

  • Not true I'm afraid. BS1363-2:2016 covers these types of 13A/USB sockets.

    I would, however, only buy from known UK/EU brands though. Some of the cheap imports regularly fail testing.

  • Ah this was a good few years ago, maybe it got covered later. I think the point about 99p ones off ebay which then get self installed is a good one though.
