USB Electric Socket

Hi
I've changed my double socket which was double pole with a new double socket but it's a single pole. I've wired it up and both sockets work as does both USB sockets.
Wondering if I should replace with double pole which was originally there or if this is ok and safe.
Thanks

"Double pole" usually usually refers to a switch, rather than a socket, and means a single switch controlling two circuits.
Perhaps someone else will know, but while I know what a double pole switch is, I've no idea what a double pole socket is.Proud member of the wokerati, though I don't eat tofu.Home is where my books are.Solar PV 5.2kWp system, SE facing, >1% shading, installed March 2019.Mortgage free July 20230 -
It refers to the switches on the socket, double pole switches live & neutral, single pole just switches live. Single is fine.Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.0
