- IEC 60906-1 (Brazilian 10 A and 20A /250 V - NBR 14136 2002)
For more details on this topic, see IEC 60906-1.
In 1986, the International Electrotechnical Commission published IEC 60906-1, the specification for a plug that looks similar but is not identical to the Swiss (Type J) plug. This plug was intended to become one day the common standard for all of Europe and other regions with 230 V mains, but the effort to adopt it as a European Union standard was put on hold in the mid 1990s.[25] Brazil, which had used a mix of Europlug and NEMA plugs, adopted it as national standard NBR 14136 in 2001[26]. Since 2007, the adoption of this standard were optional for manufacturers, since most of Class 2 devices plugs (nearly 80%) fits with new standard. Since January 1, 2009, all installations had to comply with new standard, which caused some trouble, specially with some class 1 devices which used Type I plugs. Since January 1, 2010 new devices shall comply with the new regulation (end-user stores and resellers can sell equipments without adoption deadlines, but importers will not be allowed to bring nonconforming devices, nor will manufacturers be able to sell them locally). There are two types of sockets and plugs in this system: one for 10 A, with 4mm pin diameter and the other for 20 A, with a 4.8mm pin diameter, for heavier appliances, such as microwave ovens and HMVAC[27]. The 16 amp version of this standard is also approved in South Africa as SANS 164-2, in parallel with the type M standard [28].
