Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of fire as the plug fuse does not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1362. The length is below the minimum permitted tolerance. A compliant fuse is required to ensure safe operation of the plug under fault conditions.
The plug face also does not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363 as the live and neutral pins are too close to the periphery.
