A practical guide for importers and distributors serving African markets with British standard electrical accessories.
British Standard Countries in Africa — Nigeria, Congo & Beyond

Most of these countries require conducting businesses using British type sockets. Therefore, when the electrical accessories are imported into the countries such as Nigeria, Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe, they have to be manufactured in compliance with the respective standards, such as the DN70408M switched socket in Nigeria and Congo.
Double MF vs Single MF — When Do You Need a Double Socket?
The double MF switched socket DN70408M has the precise specification for mounting on any wall that requires power for two devices at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which African countries use British standard sockets?
The British Standard BS 1363 socket with three pins is the National standard for wiring in countries such as Nigeria, The Republic of Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe and other Commonwealth African nations. The DN70408M is a British Standard double MF switched socket that has been designed explicitly for these markets. It allows the direct use of British 3 pin plugs with no adaptors needed.
What is a double MF switched socket?
The double MF switched socket consists of two completely separate power outlets rated at 13A, combined together in one wall plate, thanks to the MF (Multi-Function) design, which has created a combination of various sockets, switches, and neon indicators into one clean panel. The DN70408M is a slim British standard 2-gang MF switched socket with two independent power sockets, each having a switch and a neon light, and comes in a dimension of 88 by 146 mm.
Can each socket be switched independently?
Indeed, DN70408M has two 13A sockets which are equipped with individual SP switches and neon indicators. Thus, it is possible to switch off one device while keeping another turned on as the switch mechanism and the contacts in each of the gang units operate independently of each other.
Is this socket compatible with Nigerian and Congolese electrical systems?
Indeed, the DN70408M conforms to British BS 1363 standards, which is the prescribed wiring code of Nigeria and Congo alike. It accepts the British 3-pin plugs, works with the regular British back boxes, and has been certified by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to be useful in BS countries. The device is rated 13A/250V, which is consistent with the domestic wiring standard in Nigeria, Congo, and Commonwealth Africa.
