The notifying country is Hungary, and the country of origin is the People’s Republic of China. The level of risk is classified as serious.

Hazard Information

The notification identifies the risk type as electric shock. The specific dangers reported are as follows:
– The structure of the socket allows single-pole insertion of plugs, and the protection surface of the plug’s face is insufficient.
– The wires can be pulled or twisted out of their terminals.
– The single-layer insulation is insufficient for a Class II appliance, which could lead to exposed live parts.
– The insulation does not ensure adequate separation from live (active) parts during the lifetime of the luminaire.
– As a result, the user could touch accessible live parts and receive an electric shock.

The product fails to meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the European standards EN 60598-1 and EN 60598-2.
