What are you asking?  If it's safe to plug a PSU designed for 240 V into a 220 V supply?  If so, the answer is yes.  Any PSU worth using will handle a slight variance like that just fine.

The devices work with a range of voltages, it does not "stop working" if it is slightly below or above.

Usually devices are rated for a range, such as 220-250v or 110-120v
