And have done for many years. But there may be older installations offering what was permitted before CEE 17 came along unless legislation has been passed mandating they be replaced. It's fairly rare for legislation like that with regard to wiring unless there have been serious problems with the old stuff (like aluminium wiring in housing). Fit (or replace) a consumer unit and it has to have MCBs and an RCD in a metal case. But if you have MCBs and an RCD in a plastic case (acceptable until recently) you don't have to replace it. If your consumer unit has fuses rather than MCBs and doesn't have an RCD you don't have to replace it. So, unless somebody can point to relevant legislation, I'd expect pre-CEE 17 installations to still exist - with a properly waterproofed enclosure BS1363 outlets would do the job, albeit with a lower current rating. So, on the principle of verifiability, if a UK camping site advertises electrical hook-ups but doesn't specify the connector, I wouldn't tag it as CEE 17 blue even though it is almost certain to be so. -- Paul
