Hazard

When disconnecting the connector, live parts are accessible. The termination of the chain does not have sufficient protection against contact with live parts, as the cover does not hold in place. The user could consequently touch live parts and receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standards EN 60598-1 and EN 60598-2-20.
