Brunei: Prohibited Electrical Item


Reminder to BFB SLA and SFA Occupants

Please DO NOT USE the multi-way wall plug adaptor, as shown in the pictures below. This has very high risk of electric fire and electricity related H&S issues.

If the occupants in SLA require adaptor for their non-UK plug electrical appliances, they must have PAT tested adaptor that complies with the equivalent UK specification such as BS8546 and BS1363.

DIO(B) is happy to convert the non-UK plug to UK three pin plug by cutting and reinstalling the three pin UK plug. This is only if the occupants are happy with the process as this may void the appliance’s warranty.

The pictures below were obtained from one of the BFB estate recently.


For any questions, please contact DIO phone number: 3224130 Ext. 3375 or email: BRUNEIGAR-DIO-HelpDesk@mod.gov.uk
