FOREWORD
This Saudi Standard “Plugs and socket-outlets for household and similar purpose -
safety requirements and test methods - 250 V/ 13 A” has prepared on the basis of
updating the previous SASO standard No. 2203:2003 "Plug and Socket-Outlets for
Household and Similar General Use – 220V", and the two supplementary standards
endorsed by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization; GSO BS
1363-1 : 2009 incorporating amendments numbers 1,2 and 3, “13 A plugs, socket-
outlets, adaptors and connection units- Part 1: Specification for rewirable and non-
rewirable 13 A fused plugs.” and GSO BS 1363-2 : 2009 incorporating amendments
numbers 1,2 and 3, “13 A plugs, socket-outlets, adaptors and connection units- Part
2: Specification for 13 A switched and unswitched socket- outlets.” .
This Standard was prepared taking into consideration the latest decree No.324 dated
20/09/1431H issued by the ministries cabinet to change the system voltage from
220/127 V in the kingdom to 400/230 V.
Additional modifications have made to this standard to suit the conditions in the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
This standard after approval will replace and supersede SASO 2203: 2003 “plugs
and socket – outlets for household and similar general use 220 V”and SASO
443:2003 “methods of testing plugs and socket-outlets for household and similar
general use”.
