Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as the insulation between the input and output circuits is poor, which may lead to elevated voltages at the output. The plug did not meet the dimensional requirements of BS1363 as the pins were only 5.7 mm from the periphery, which can allow access to live parts when plugging in, or unplugging, the plug from the socket.
Additionally, the fuse in the plug does not meet the requirements of BS1362 as the length measured too small and the fuse had not been supplied with any granular filler, which is required to ensure it provides the relevant protective functions under fault conditions. The instructions were deemed inadequate and some of the required documentation/markings were not present.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016, or the Plugs & Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994.
Corrective action
The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).
