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.
The mechanical strength of the flashing unit is not sufficient and the user may have access to live parts. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive the relevant European standard EN 60598.
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 battery charger supplied with the lantern poses a risk of electric shock because the insulation is not sufficient and the creepage distance between the live parts of the charger and the accessible connector is too short. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standards EN 60598 and EN 61558.
The cover of the flashing unit is not sufficiently resistant and may break, exposing users to live parts. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant standard EN 60598.
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.
The product is not earthed and could become live in the event of a fault with the insulation. The dimensions of the plug pins are not correct and the user could consequently touch live parts. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598 and the relevant national standard BS1363.
