Risk Description
This product poses a risk of fire and electric shock because:- the pins of the halogen lamp plug are accessible when the lamp fitting is plugged in and they become active;- the insulating tape covering the accessible connection terminals is conductive;- the basic-insulated leads are accessible when water is being poured in (therefore no protection class);- the light fitting is designed for a maximum of 50 volts. However, the connection is made using 230 volts;- the power plug dimensions do not conform to DIN VDE 0620-1, No 9.1;- there is a protective conductor in the mains lead, but it is not connected;- there is no standard-compliant tension relief device for the mains lead;- leaky water containers and cord switch are not protected against water getting in;- the cross-section of the mains lead is too narrow;- the switch has no tension relief device;- the protective conductor is connected as the neutral conductor;- the switch can easily be opened without tools, making live parts accessible;- the mains lead is not permanently attached (just twisted).This product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standards.
