Requirements breached

The creepage distances and insulation clearances between the primary and secondary circuits are too small. This can lead to the user receiving an electric shock from parts becoming live. Moreover, the cables are not sufficiently resistant and can sever, possibly causing a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standards EN 60598 and EN 61558.
