The dimensions are 86 x 86 mm, designed for single openings.
Can this plate be used for both plumbing and electrical needs?

Does this plate come with screws?
The product information does not specify if screws are included. You may need to use existing fixings or purchase appropriate screws separately based on your installation.

Troubleshooting
Plate does not fit the opening securely.
Verify the opening dimensions match the plate size (86 x 86 mm). Ensure the mounting surface is flat and free of obstructions. Check that the correct fixings are being used.
Difficulty in fitting or removing the plate.
Ensure the opening and the plate edges are clean. If too tight, check for any warping of the plate or surrounding structure. For removal, use a suitable tool to gently pry if necessary, avoiding damage to the wall.
The seal is not completely watertight/airtight.
Ensure the plate is fully seated against the mounting surface. For critical applications, consider using a suitable sealant around the edges before fixing the plate, though this may impact future removal.
