Lighting equipment — electric shock risk (0468/06)

Hazard

The product has inadequate protection against electric shock, including the following non-compliances with the relevant laws and standards:- the luminaire is fitted with a brass lampholder and has no means for earthing the accessible metal parts. Where the sheath of the supply cord has been removed to facilitate the conductors’ connection to their terminals, this has left the exposed basic insulation on the conductors in contact with the metal lampholder. The lampholder would become live in the event of a failure of the insulation.- the brass lampholder would become live in the event of an insulation fault within the lamp.- there are no precautions to prevent the lampholder from becoming live due to a detached wire.The plug and the fuse do not meet the safety requirements including:- the cover screw had not been provided with a means for retention and it fell out when the plug was opened. A lost screw can be replaced with an inappropriate type leaving the cover inadequately fixed.- the terminal screws have not been rounded at the ends to minimise damage to the conductors when tightening.- the endcaps of the fuse were insecurely fixed and the length of the fuse was shorter than required.In addition, the user instructions are inadequate and the product does not meet the marking requirements, including the maximum rated wattage and the symbol for class II construction.
