Product Report and Image Link to Product Image and PDF

Hazard

The product failed the electric strength test as the insulation between the input and output circuits broke down when a 2.92 kV test voltage was applied between the circuits. A breakdown in clearances and insulation can lead to overheating and/or electric shock. The shutter featured on the sockets did not restrict access to live parts. As the power strip accepts BS1363 plugs, it is required to have a rated current of 13A, however, was found to only have 10A. Excessive loads can lead to overheating and fire. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.

The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.

Corrective action

The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.
