South African National Standard 164: Plugs and socket outlets for household and similar purposes for use in South Africa is the South African Bureau of Standards' standard for domestic AC power plugs and sockets. As a former British colony, South Africa's electricity standards are of British derivation, and it uses 220/230 V at 50 Hz AC. [1]
South Africa: C, M, N SANS 164: 230 V 400 V 50 Hz South Korea: C, F KS C 8305 220 V 380 V 60 Hz Spain: C, F UNE 20315 230 V 400 V 50 Hz Type E is extremely rare, but it may appear in some buildings, such as the University Carlos III of Madrid. Almost every Spanish plug would work on Type E sockets. Sri Lanka: D, G, M SLS 734 230 V
SANS 164-3 defines a 6 A plug and socket based on the BS 546 5 A. The South African Wiring Code now defines the plug and socket system defined in SANS 164-2 (IEC 60906-1) as the preferred standard, and it is expected that SANS 164-1 and SANS 164-3 devices will be phased out by around 2035. [96]
The only country to have officially adopted the standard is South Africa as SANS 164-2. [36] [37] Brazil developed a plug resembling IEC 60906-1 as the national standard under specification NBR 14136. [12] The NBR 14136 standard has two versions, neither of which has pin dimensions or ratings complying with IEC 60906-1.

An electrical code is a term for a set of regulations for the design and installation of electrical wiring in a building. The intention of such regulations is to provide standards to ensure electrical wiring systems are safe for people and property, protecting them from electrical shock and fire hazards.

A 2.26 kΩ, 1%-precision resistor with 5 color bands (), from top, 2-2-6-1-1; the last two brown bands indicate the multiplier (×10) and the tolerance (1%).. An electronic color code or electronic colour code (see spelling differences) is used to indicate the values or ratings of electronic components, usually for resistors, but also for capacitors, inductors, diodes and others.
