No, the six outlets are not amperage rated to be connected to a 20 amp circuit. A normal 15 amp receptacle can not be protected by a 20 amp breaker. Change the 20 amp breaker to a 15 amp breaker. This combination will pass code regulations.

===============

In the United States, in a home, you can connect two hard-wired (not cord and plug connected) fans and six receptacles (outlets) to a single 20 amp circuit provided the 2 fans do not draw more than 10 amps together. If they are cord and plug connected, this limitation on the fans does not apply.

In commercial and industrial installations, power to hard-wired equipment is provided on different circuits than receptacles.
