- after the traction test on the control unit’s flexible cord was carried out at a force of 100 N, longitudinal displacement of more than 2 mm was recorded.
- the voltage of 220 V is indicated in the instructions in English and the packaging is not authorised for appliances connected to the mains supply.
- compulsory indications are not written on the flexible part.
- the height of the characters on the flexible part must be at least 2.5 mm and the height of the symbols must be 15 mm.
