The kettle therefore does not come under protection Class I, which requires an earth wire, or Class II, where protection against electric shock is provided by double or reinforced insulation, - the leakage current was measured at >0.75mA,- the kettle stand is not fitted with a tension relief device,- the opening for mains lead-in has sharp edges ,- the instructions are not in German and the CE mark is missing.The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60335.
