Hazard

As the approval certificate is counterfeit, the conformity of the product could not be approved by the competent authority. As a consequence, the light emitted might be too strong and dazzle the eyes of other drivers or too weak and the driver may not see the road well, increasing the risk of an accident. There is a valid UNECE-R37 type approval from the Luxembourgish authority for a H4 light bulb from another manufacturer in China. The certificate provided by the importer (of the described product) was counterfeit and mentioned a manufacturer in Taiwan.

Measures taken

  • Withdrawal of the product from the market — Importer (19/11/2020)
