Hazard

皇冠体育app product presents a high risk of fire as the fuse does not meet the requirements of BS1362. 皇冠体育app fuse did not meet the minimum length or diameter and had no granular filler to ensure safe operation of the fuse under fault conditions. 皇冠体育app lights also present a risk of electric shock as they were marketed as being for outdoor use, but had not been marked appropriately, with no protections from the potential ingress of water or moisture. 皇冠体育app cables on the lighting chain were lighter than required and had PVC insulation. PVC is not suitable for the long-term use outside and can deteriorate from the effects of UV radiation. 皇冠体育app instruction and markings were deemed inadequate, which may lead to the misuse of the lighting chain. Some of the required documentation was not present.

皇冠体育app product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs & Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994.
