Lighting chain

What is the danger

The cable is not properly anchored, the accessible wires have only basic insulation and the cable is too thin.

Requirements breached

The basic insulated cable could detach or get damaged, leaving the live conductors accessible and, as a result, the user could receive an electric shock. The cable could also overheat leading to a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
