CEE 7

Common card · No. 258590

CEE 7 is a standard for alternating-current (AC) plugs and sockets for household and similar purposes. First published in 1951 by the former International Commission on the Rules for the Approval of Electrical Equipment (IECEE), it unified standards produced by several continental European countries. The project resulted in a list and numbered group of power connecter systems. In Europe, CEE 7 connectors are the sole standardised system in use (and therefore often referred to as "European plugs/sockets") with the exceptions of Italy (with San Marino), Denmark (including the Faroe Islands), Great Britain (including Gibraltar) with Ireland, Malta and Cyprus, and Switzerland (including Liechtenstein), each of which use their own systems. CEE 7 is also the sole system in many other countries outside the region such as Indonesia, Iran, Egypt, DR Congo, Morocco, Madagascar and South Korea.
