Sorry that only applies for DC or AC at unity power factor. Though I realise the OP not to understand this I'm sure you do and your advise is misleading.

Ok. I can't argue about what the standard states.
It does seem somewhat irresponsible if, say, an eight socket outlet is made yet cannot cope with as much current as the fuse.

It was just to show the OP the difference between the appliances.
Can you have a power factor other than unity when using a DC power source ?

Hi, change the single socket to a good quality double. The wall appears to be plasterboard all you require is a 25mm double back box and a Stanley knife.
A converta socket will just melt after 6 months

Yes it will.
If you do not want to dig out your wall and put a double back box in, then the easy option is to get one of these
and put a good quality double socket on it.
That will be 13A.
The fuse is unnecessary, then.
That was Winston's point - my figures are only correct for DC or AC at unity.
Yes I can now see the "or" function...... Been a rough weekend.
