What is the danger

Requirements breached

The product is not protected against moisture but is recommended for outdoor use. As a consequence, water could penetrate the product or the user could touch accessible live parts, which may cause an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
