SNI Single Socket

What is a Single Socket

A single socket is an electrical outlet designed to provide a connection point between electrical power sources and electronic devices using a plug. This type of socket has one outlet slot, allowing only one electrical device to be connected at a time.

Single sockets are commonly used in:

  1. Residential electrical installations.
  2. Office buildings.
  3. Hotels and commercial facilities.
  4. Educational buildings.
  5. Public infrastructure.

Because sockets serve as the main interface between users and electrical systems, they must comply with strict safety standards.

In Indonesia, these standards are established through the Indonesian National Standard issued by Badan Standardisasi Nasional.

The implementation of these standards is supervised by Kementerian Perindustrian Republik Indonesia, while certification bodies must be accredited by Komite Akreditasi Nasional.
