Why

Use a plug adapter only after confirming that your actual input rating covers the local voltage and frequency. Match your real plug and preserve any required grounding. An adapter does not change voltage. Apple documents 100–240V, 50–60Hz for its USB adapters. Check the actual adapter and phone model requirements; third-party products are not verified by Apple specifications. Listed output watts do not measure AC draw or establish the complete range of compatible adapters.

Denmark runs 230⁠V / 50⁠Hz. Denmark runs 230V at 50Hz. Its native socket is Type K, but it also accepts the Europlug (Type C). A Schuko (Type F) plug may not fully ground.

Scope

Danish Safety Technology Authority: New standard for household sockets: National standard section: new products marketed from 1 January 2026 must meet DS 60884-2-D1:2023, with a limited blind-hole extension transition through 2027. No additional IEC letter types are inferred.
Energinet: Technical issues related to new transmission lines in Denmark: PDF/printed p100, section 6.6 Power quality-related issues: the fundamental frequency of the Danish system is 50 Hz. This national statement is distinct from the older DK2-only Nordic methodology.
Danish Standards: Plug, socket and voltage information: Meeting information > Plug, socket & voltage: Denmark 230 V AC, IEC Type K and Europlug working throughout Denmark. Europlug is mapped to Type C compatibility; this does not establish grounding for class-I appliances.
Danish Safety Technology Authority: Household socket systems: Dansk standard for stikkontakter: traditional Danish, side-earth and pin-earth systems. This page cites DS 60884-2-D1:2017; it does not state 230 V. Current new-product requirements are in the separate 2023-standard source. No new socket families are inferred here.
Energinet: Frequency quality parameters: PDF p5 Article 1 limits this Nordic synchronous-area methodology to East Denmark (DK2), Finland, Sweden and Norway. Article 3 Table 1 states 50 Hz. It is not standalone national Denmark frequency evidence.
