Risk
null The product poses a risk of electric shock because: · - The insulation between the primary and secondary windings of the transformer is not equivalent to reinforced insulation. - The clearance for reinforced insulation between the primary and secondary circuit and the creepage distance on the PCB are too short.- Input power conductors are not properly positioned or fixed on the PCB. Therefore, reliance is placed upon the soldering alone to maintain the conductors in position.-The pins of the mains plug can break. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and the relevant European standard EN 60950.
