Smart socket testing under SS 145-2

Smart Home & SS 145-2

Smart homes will one day be a reality and it might not even be something that requires customisation. As part of the Smart Nation initiative, Smart Towns is one of the areas that the Singapore government is looking into. These Smart Towns will include building smart estates: homes with smart technology built into the estates. 

As with all new technology, the only way that we can use them with minimised risk is to enforce regulations and standards. The revised standard SS  145 is adopted to ensure the safety of smart sockets which is the first step towards smart homes. 

Business benefits of testing smart sockets under SS 145-2
