          I'm obviously missing something, but to me this is just a power strip.

    Power strips in Australia must comply with the Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 3112 . I think these wont or am I missing some information from your site .

            @incipient: What's that switch on the wall for again?

            The pin thing is a recent development anyway.

            • incipient on 09/03/2025 - 17:11

              @Manny Calavera: I'm not saying it substantially increases risk, I'm just saying if you're not compliant with legislation, then your legal exposure is probably significantly higher.

              Eg if someone comes over and is injured by a non-compliant device you may get taken to the cleaner.

    • bargaino on 09/03/2025 - 22:23

      Really only a problem if you plan on bulk buying and reselling them.
      Possibly an issue for the seller, but not for the buyer. You think consumers are supposed to read AS3112 let alone comply?

      If you mean to say they are dangerous, that is another issue. Some of those multi-standard boards certainly are, but this one does have gates at least.
      Still, I think it safer to buy a US-style powerboard, and change the plug to I-type (from Bunnings) if you need that. I don't trust these multi-type boards either.

  • AL008 on 09/03/2025 - 15:50

    This one was annoying as with the protection mechanism that prevents you from using appliances without Earth. You could never plug it in.

      Yep, grabbed many from OzBargain deals. Great, cheap, well-made devices that were perfect for travelling in conjunction with an adapter for foreign GPOs. Small, light and provided 3 power and 3 USB slots.

      Even better was the rarer second version that added a USB-C port and increased 20w / QC3 charging speeds. I’ve still got a couple that I love and use regularly.

    Don't buy these, they are not complaint with Australian standards and your insurer will deny claims for fire etc if you are discovered to have used one.

    • UncleRico on 09/03/2025 - 16:21

      OP covered his arse (somewhat) by suggesting they are best for travellers.

      But for all the times this comment (or similar ones about POE cabling, GPO replacement or bidet installation being unlawful) has anyone actually ever heard of a house burning down or an insurance claim being denied on account of them?

      • ilikeit on 09/03/2025 - 16:37
        +4

        Is it worth it to buy this one when you can spend a bit more to get a legal one that won't make your insurance invalid?

        • UncleRico on 09/03/2025 - 16:43
          +22

          Yep, contrary to any amount of people who have been bush lawyering for years and no one ever once substantiating claims it was either unsafe, unlawful or uninsurable And I’ve never heard of a claim against any of the hundreds of thousands of tourists who plug their power boards, adaptors and appliances into Australian GPO’s.

          Text below from one of the countless debates on the matter.

          “They are legal to plug in and use. I posted all the details in a previous deal. Why do people keep spreading bullshit everytime this is posted? The constant scare campaigns from the government, retailers and other groups is working.

          Here is the text from the previous post again.

          It's pretty simple except for those who have downvoted my comments because they are so ignorant of the law.

          It's LEGAL to use electrical appliances that you have imported from overseas and no electrical compliance certificate is required if the appliance is a personal import. Insurance companies do not have anything in their PDS (again how many people have read this and I bet the ignorant ones have not) about what electrical products you use, if it is legal to plug into our electricity network it is covered by insurance.

          What causes the majority of electrical fires? Old appliances with damaged insulation so do insurance companies have anything in their PDS to say you can't use appliances over x years old? Nope. Again READ your PDS, this tells you what you are covered for. Contact your states electrical safety agency who are responsible for what is plugged into our electricity network and ask them if it's ok to plug in electrical appliances that you have imported and the answer will be yes.”

          • gromit on 09/03/2025 - 22:01

            @UncleRico: Its legal to use. It is illegal to import for sale. Perhaps the name just has me confused and this is an overseas store?

    • spaceflight on 09/03/2025 - 16:49
      +4

      No your insurance company will not invalidate your claim (unless there is something in the PDS about using non compliant electrical devices)

      However your insurance company will take legal action against the supplier of the non compliant item you purchased to recover any claim they have paid you.

      Will they do it to an AliExpress seller? No

      Will they do it to an Australian store, with an ABN, located in Australia who are illegally selling non compliant products? Yes they will.

    I need something that's compliant and safe, this isn't.

    @MostlyMelbourne can you please provide a copy of your liability insurance for assurance that you can cover any claims as a result of your sale of non compliant electrical appliances (the sale of which is illegal)

  • Wt133 on 09/03/2025 - 16:51

    This shouldn’t be allowed it’s not compliant and if your house burns down insurance isn’t going to cover it

    As others have commented, the sale of these in Australia is illegal.
    At best, using these will void your insurance, at worst you'll risk fire or electrocution.

      Nope, they never do because they never can. But that won’t stop them from negging away and spouting nonsense about how their $10 Click powerboard is so much better…

      • spaceflight on 09/03/2025 - 19:12

        nonsense about how their $10 Click powerboard is so much better…

        Nonsense?

        The $10 click powerboard is better as it's safer and compliant.

        • UncleRico on 09/03/2025 - 20:28

          Compliant? Maybe. Safer? Never.

          Have a look at any of the breakdowns that compare build and components. Far from better in my book, but then I don’t take much comfort in compliance or herd mentality. I wonder how many people bleating about illegality or uninsurability are still using boards and appliances which predate the relatively recent require to insulated pins or exceed 20a so have no such protections?

          • Blitzfx on 09/03/2025 - 21:36

            @UncleRico: having 8.7mm of insulation vs zero insulation is not safer?

            • UncleRico on 09/03/2025 - 21:50

              @Blitzfx: Yep, it’s a great innovation for curious children and stupid adults. If it stops one person from electrocuting themself after wedging a slim piece of metal between a partially installed plug and GPO, it’s a good thing.

              But not nearly as common as some of the other faults commonly found in cheap supermarket and hardware store powerboards which come with a wonderfully assuring compliance tick, such as these; www.productsafety.gov.au/search?query=power+boards

              It’s just a shame that most of those recalled, Aussie made boards chose to cut costs with their compliant 0.75mm2 insulation as opposed to the safer 1mm2 found on this very well-made power strip. But then there are many more components and measures of safety and quality that go into good electrical equipment. Which is all probably moot given the number of pre-2005 extension leads and appliances which are plugged into boards and GPOs across the nation, despite also lacking insulated pins. So many hills to die on…

        This presupposes that the board caused the incident.

        Which it won't. Because it's not badly built.

        I'd be more worried about a bargain basement scooter or galaxy note.

    Have 3 of these around the house. Super useful and no issues since i bought around 6ish years ago.

    Only grip is that the sockets are a bit close so sometimes can only use 2 leaving the middle one empty, depending on the device

    Great on trips!

  • Alarak on 09/03/2025 - 19:45

    Lots of people warn that they are not compliant with AU standard, ppl buy those should understand the risk but tbh, this is one of the best quality power boards in China and millions of people using them. I found it is way better quality and looking than the Click or Kmart ones, so make your choice wisely and take your own risks.

      Unlike every ebike with a cheap lithium ion battery or speed delimited max speed.

      Thank goodness we can rely on ill-informed keyboard warriors to remind us - or invent - which products are safe for sale, consumption or insurance.

      These are a great product - have several similar versions that I’ve used for a decade and taken overseas on countless occasions. A godsend. If anyone’s looking for a similar product which received a more positive response from a hardier audience, check out this popular alternative;
