Hello all! I wanna get a universal socket switch from Taobao, but my friend's like, "Nah, don't do it man. The socket switch from Taobao doesn't have SIRIM approve, so if something goes wrong at your house like a fire or something, your insurance company could just say nope to your claim." Is that for real though?

I checked out some socket switches on Shopee, but the designs don't look as good as the ones on Taobao. Can y'all hook me up with some suggestions?

for high voltage or long term on switch item i will use local ones. ie for cooker, hoods, fridge etc etc.

aside from that i use from taobao ones, so far no issues, currently 2yrs usage in 1 house and 1 yr in another house.

even my electrician was surprised as build quality seem very good and even asked me to help him get for his own use.

however on the insurance part, yes, no sirim they may argue.

in terms of design, china definitely has way better ones and alot cheaper as well. those from local like zenso also can find exactly same in china.
