Also, on the crimped terminals, not all the strands of the conductors were trapped beneath the clamping means, which could result in overheating. The instructions provided with the product were deemed inadequate as they did not contain sufficient information to ensure the correct and safe use of the equipment. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.
