Hazard

The product presents a high risk of electric shock as the conductors had been soldered onto their respective terminals. They had not been held in place independently of the soldered connection or securely hooked in position prior to soldering. There were no barriers to prevent a detached wire from reducing creepage distances and clearances to levels below the minimum required by the standard. Therefore, there is a risk of overheating and electric shock from a detached wire. The product also failed the electrical strength test due to an inadequate level of insulation. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.

Remedy

The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).
