Requirements breached
The cross sectional area of the wires in the mains supply cable is too small and in case of a short circuit, the wires may overheat and can cause burns. The dimensions of the plug are less than required and therefore the user may touch the pin of the plug during connection. The mains supply cable is not adequately protected against pulling and twisting and the live wires may therefore become free and accessible. Live parts are accessible during charging. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
