The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as it failed the electric strength test. The insulation between the input and output circuits broke down when a 2.92 kV test voltage was applied between the circuits. The plug did not comply with BSEN 1361-1 and the fuse did not comply with BS1362. The fuse had not been supplied with any granular filler.
