Not changed, redefined. 220V and 240V are both defined as 230V. Both
the UK and mainland Europe have a lot of legacy equipment which would
not take kindly to a 10V rise or fall.
CE marking requires new main-powered equipment to function properly
across the whole range. Most electronic gear these days is 90-250V.
Japan uses a nominal 100V.
