Probably not, but it’s certainly pretty likely that the safety and compliance certification marks will be fake.

Personally I’d be very antsy about having kit like that hooked up 24/7 and hidden behind the socket. I’d pay a bit more and get the equivalent from screwfix or similar, at least then they should have been properly tested to the relevant safety standards.

Saw those in screwfix the other day. Not something I'd install personally. Bet it's very bulky too

Here you go

Had it running about a year now, not had a problem yet.
Is a touch chunkier than a normal socket as you'd expect, but it fit alrite in place of the old one I took out.

That's a WiFi extender. Not what the OP originally posted

They do ones that don’t have the USB ports, but yeah if you want the integrated USB charging too then maybe somewhere like RS or Farnell would stock them?

but that's a wifi extender and not what I'm after.

the one I posted isn't a wifi extender, you can turn the plugs on and off using your phone via an app
