What is the danger
The product poses a risk of electric shock because the insulation of the mains cord does not withstand frost. At the bending test when rotating the complete cable around a mandrel with diameter 32 mm at 35±2 °C temperature, it shows cracks both at the sheath and at the insulation such that the wires of the conductors are accessible. The cable must withstand the bending test without showing any cracks. This product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant standards.
