Requirements breached

The pins of the built-in plug do not have an insulating collar; when inserting the plug the user may touch the live pins. The black cover for the LEDs can be removed by hand during charging leaving live parts accessible. The cross section area of the core of the wires is less than required; in case of short circuit the wires may overheat and can cause a fire. The heat and flame resistance of the insulating material that hold the pins of the built-in plug in position is not sufficient which could lead to fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
