Therefore, the protective safety earth wire of the cord extension set may break in case of a fault condition occurred in a product connected to the extension cord set. In this case the protective safety earthing does not work and it causes a risk of electric shock.The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant standards.
