Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as the product is powered by the mains 240v via a mains cord. The product requires a water-cooling pump to prevent overheating. The water-cooling pump is 240v and gets its power from a cord which plugs into a male socket on the main unit. This socket is live when the main unit is plugged in. The use of a male socket, rather than female socket, means there are accessible live parts. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
Corrective action
