I am not so sure. The French/Belgian version *may* have been invented
just to be different from the German, but it certainly *allows* a
standardized wiring of the wall socket (neutral on the left with the
earth pin at the bottom). I suppose the subject would be addressed in
the French and Belgian national versions of IEC 60364. Does anyone here
know?

Regardless of whether or not a CEE 7 plug is (and, /apart from that
particular version of the CEE 7 plug/, almost, if not all of them,
are), or is not, reversible in a CEE 7 socket, the polarity of the
socket contact tubes is indeterminable for the reasons I outlined
earlier.
Therefore, as far as a supplier of pluggable equipment is concerned,
he cannot rely on socket + plug polarity being determinable and
stable, and thus the Live/Neutral conductors entering the equipment
can, and often are, “reversed” arbitrarily – that is one of the
reasons why double-pole switching, & sometimes fusing, of such
equipment is deemed necessary for safety reasons.

As I am sure that many others will confirm, that CEE 7 socket does
NOT have any defined polarity for the Live/Line and Neutral
contact tubes, and thus the Line/Live and Neutral wires to those
contact tubes can & are connected either way around according to
the “wim” of the installer – unlike N.America and the UK (for
example) which do have defined polarities for some sockets .
PS: researched this in detail about 20 yrs ago and I am quite sure
that the situation has not changed since (as it had not changed in
the decades before that).

*Subject:* [PSES] Type F receptacle wiring
All,
I am searching for wiring information for the TYPE E CEE7/5, 250
Volt, 16 Amp receptacle for France and Belgium. The earth pin is
obvious and for some reason, I am unable to find information on
the correct pins for Line and Neutral. The receptacle has no
makings to this effect. One resource even says the left/right
orientation is interchangeable since neutral is considered as
live. The best I can find indicates neutral is on the left when
viewing the reception from the front. True?
Thanks! -- Doug
