In the U.S., UL Standard 1363 prohibits the cascading of relocatable power 
taps (i.e., "portable outlet strips").  Many municipal ordinances 
incorporate Standard 1363 into their local codes.  Outside of a brief 
mention in Article 220 regarding multi-outlet assemblies, I don't believe 
the NEC directly addresses the use of relocatable power taps since the NEC 
is designed as an installation standard, and not a product standard, like 
UL.
