I'm afraid I don't know what a CET is or what the NEC is, and I'm not
sure what 3-pin plugs you mean.

Basically all the rest of the world runs on 220V mains. I moved from
Britain to Czechia 5Y ago, so I am still contending with French-style
sockets:

When almost everything I own has UK plugs on:

I also have to deal with Euro plugs:

But that's all. Nothing else is used around these parts, AFAIK.

"NEC" has 2 meanings to me:
* the National Exhibition Centre: http://www.thenec.co.uk/
* a Japanese electrical/electronics goods maker: https://www.nec.com/

And that's all.

Having gone looking, I guess you mean this?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Electrical_Code

Never heard of it before and know nothing about it.
