MK Electric highlights USB safety for Child Safety Week M
K Electric talked top tips for keeping customers safe when it comes to USB
integrated sockets during this year’s Child Safety Week. Emma Segelov, EMEA marketing operations manager, comments: “Mobile devices are a staple in almost every household in the UK and are particularly popular with children and young people. In fact, 93 percent of 15 year olds in the UK now own a smartphone. “This increase in the number of mobile devices has driven a need for greater access to charging points and more flexible charging options.

he 2019 ECA Industry Awards showcased some of the key
agnostic USB ports and traditional 13A three- pin switchsocket outlets, for a variety of charging solutions. With so many different USB integrated sockets on the market, it can be difficult to choose the right one for the job. “When it comes to 13A switchsocket outlets,
it’s vital to specify options that feature a three- pin child-resistant shutter system, which comes as standard across all of MK Electric’s 13A sockets. These products are designed to prevent access to the electricity supply unless all three pins of a standard British plug are in position, which provides additional protection against electrocution for young children who might be unaware of the dangers of placing foreign objects into switchsocket outlets.”
2019 ECA Industry Awards winners announced T
achievements by leading talent in the sector during an impressive ceremony held in London on Friday 7th June. In all, 19 top-performing businesses from

We would like to encourage ECA Members who are working on impressive and innovative projects
