You fit shelves to walls using 6mm plugs?

As opposed to what? No need for anything larger than that unless
you have a very heavy load.

A shelf of books? Several shelves of books?

Held by London brackets, cantilever brackets, battens, twin slot
steel uprights & brackets? Any of those can be fixed 100% with 6mm
plugs.
6mm Fischer plug & a 40 x 4 screw gives an incredibly strong fix

That depends on the load and on the nature of the wall to which it
is being attached.

Fischer plasterboard plugs are 6mm too - and very strong.

But would you hang a 37" lcd using four of them?
That's what the bloke in screwfix was going to do.
I wouldn't.

See above - unless you have a very heavy load.
