The holes in the sockets are not protected by shutters. The user can consequently access live parts. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant national standard.
The holes in the sockets are not protected by shutters. The user can consequently access live parts. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant national standard.
The clearance and creepage distances between the primary and secondary circuits of the transformer are insufficient. This could lead to accessible parts being at mains voltage. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60950.
The insulation and the creepage distances between live parts and accessible metallic parts are insufficient. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60950.
Single-pole or partial insertion of a plug is possible, leaving the free, remaining live pin - or the partially plugged pin of the plug - accessible. In addition, while it is possible to insert devices of Class I protection into the socket-outlet part of the adaptor, the protective earth circuit continuity is then interrupted. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant standard IEC 60884.
The pins may become live and accessible while the adaptor is plugged into the mains: this may cause an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 62031.
The product is not earthed and has accessible metallic parts, posing a risk of electric shock. The supply cord has inadequate cable restraint and the conversion plug could be removed without the use of a tool, also posing a risk of electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60335 and the relevant national standard BS1363.
The adaptor may overheat, causing burns, and parts may become deformed, leaving live parts accessible which could result in an electric shock. The product does not comply with the relevant national standard UNE 20315.
Live parts are accessible as the holes for the plug pins are not protected by shutters. The product does not comply with the relevant national standard.
One pin of a plug can be inserted leaving the other live pin accessible. The product does not comply with the relevant national standard.
