<!--editors: Additional details should be added to [[AC power plugs and sockets - British and related types]].-->
The United Kingdom, Ireland, and Malta use the BS&nbsp;4573 two-pin plug and socket for electric shavers and toothbrushes.<ref>BS''&nbsp;''4573 (1970), ''British Standard Specification for two-pin reversible plugs and shaver socket-outlets'', British Standards Institution.</ref> The plug has insulating sleeves on the pins. Although similar to the [[Europlug]] Type&nbsp;C, the diameter and spacing of the pins are slightly different and hence it will not fit into a Schuko socket. There are, however, two-pin sockets and adaptors which will accept both BS&nbsp;4573 and Europlugs.
