Hazard

The product presents a high risk of electric shock due to poor quality construction, with insufficient fixings holding conductors into place on their terminals. This could allow the connections to weaken over time and wires to become loose, or wires to touch due to insufficient creepage and clearance distances. The product also requires improvements to markings, labelling and documentation. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
