Switches are used for the control of electrical power or signals and may be categorized by their functional switching mechanism and their intended applications. Electrical Switches are devices that control power in electrical circuits typically using mechanical means to create “on” and “off” states that open or close the desired circuit path.

In England the power plug sockets are of type G. The standard voltage is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz.

From February 2021, Stand-alone Plugs and Socket Outlets including Switches will also be required to have the Saudi Quality Mark.

The Saudi Quality Mark (SQM) is a conformity mark owned by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO). It is conferred on products manufactured in a facility that has a robust and effective Management System to ensure continuous compliance to Saudi Standards.
