Hazard
The product presents a medium risk of electric shock as the UK plug transformer failed to comply with minimum creepage distances requirements of 2.5 mm for basic insulation and 5.0 mm for reinforced insulation. For basic insulation a creepage distance of 1.7 mm was measured between live and neutral tracks and 2.1 mm between reinforced insulation barriers on the PCB. When tested, a voltage breakdown occurred at approximately 2000 V between primary inputs and secondary SELV outputs on the plug transformer against a required 1-minute application of 2960 V for reinforced insulation. An investigation of the root cause of the voltage breakdown was found to be an unapproved 2 kV capacitor breaking down between the primary and secondary barrier on the PCB. The protective insulated cover of the 4-pin SELV connector on the LED strip light was insecurely mounted and the product did not contain a rating label. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.
The product does not comply with the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
