Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of electric shock and fire as the earth stud was found to be unreliable and no declaration of conformity was supplied. During testing, it was identified that the protective earth connection used a standard cross head screw to hold two crimp terminals connecting the earths together. An earth connection must not use a standard screw that can be undone from outside of the product. The screw could be undone, and the protective earth could be removed. Also, a screw connection cannot hold two earth connections together for the same reason.
Additionally, the product supply voltage requirements are not compatible with the UK power system. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.
The product does not meet the requirement of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
Corrective action
Destruction of the product.
