- Hazard
- The product presents a risk of electric shock due to its poor internal build quality and counterfeit plug, fuse and cable. The transformer was of a poor build quality because the primary and secondary sides of the transformer were touching and there was found to be a lack of acceptable creepage and clearance distance. When the earth bond was tested, it went open circuit after approximately 10 seconds. The plug featured a counterfeit BSI kitemark and the fuse has friction end caps and did not contain a ballast. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.
- The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 or the Plugs & Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1994.
