Reported risk evidence comparison

Lighting equipment: earthing — reported risk evidence

The acquired cohort contains 45 official alert references published from 2006-02-10 to 2026-09-25. This page compares 8 selected, distinct product descriptions, including ceiling lamp, ceiling light, lamp. The other 37 records still contribute to the cohort counts but are not displayed: descriptions may repeat, lack the display inputs, or fall outside the eight-description display limit. The recorded risks raise separate evidence questions about earthing. Compare the product features and dated findings below before scoping an investigation. These historical observations do not determine your product’s compliance or a market failure rate.

Lamp · SR/04488/25

Report published 2025-12-26 · notifying country Poland · reported origin People's Republic of China

Reported product description
Lamp single-phase set, 3xGU10, maximum 3x20W, AC220-240V, 1metre, in white and black. [4]

Report published 2025-08-08 · notifying country Luxembourg · reported origin People's Republic of China

Reported product description
Metal ceiling lamp for domestic use. Product sold online, in particular via AliExpress. [5]
Reported risk explanation
The lamp has no earth connection and the wires are protected with basic insulation only and are in contact with the metal parts.

Ceiling lamp · A12/01988/24

Report published 2024-08-09 · notifying country Slovakia · reported origin People's Republic of China

Reported product description
White ceiling lamp with a removable plastic cover of the light source. The product contains replaceable light sources. [6]
Reported risk explanation
When the protective cover of the lamp is removed, live parts are accessible. The user could receive an electric shock from live parts.Furthermore, the product lacks an earthing contact with a flexible part that would adequately ensure protection against accidental release of the connection. This can lead to a risk of electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standards EN 60598-1, and EN 60598-2. [6]

Track light · A12/00820/22

Report published 2022-06-10 · notifying country Sweden · reported origin The Netherlands

Reported product description
The product consists of a black metal track with five black spotlights. Product sold online. [7]
Reported risk explanation
The end piece of the track is not properly anchored, hence live parts can easily be accessed. Furthermore, the contact pressure is transmitted through insulating material in the internal connections (phase and protective earth) of the luminaire. Hence, the product is improperly designed and does not adequately protected against electric shock. Finally, the screw connection of the protective earth is not adequately locked against loosening, hence the product could go live. The user could consequently touch live parts and receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standards EN 60598-1 and EN 60570. [7]
Reported measures, verbatim
Type of economic operator taking notified measure(s): ManufacturerCategory of measure(s): Stop of salesDate of entry into force: 09/05/2022 [7]

Ceiling lamp · A11/00122/21

Report published 2022-01-07 · notifying country Sweden · reported origin People's Republic of China

Reported product description
Gold metal ceiling lamp with five white glass domes. [8]
Reported risk explanation
The product should be assembled by the users, hence there are accessible live parts; there are no clear safety indications regarding the safety of accessible live parts, or how these can go live. Furthermore, the internal basic insulated conductors are in direct contact with accessible unearthed metal parts. Also, when changing the lamp, the protective glass has to be removed and the internal conductors must be twisted, and could break. A user could receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and with the European standard EN 60598-1. [8]

Type of economic operator to whom the measure(s) were ordered: OtherCategory of measure(s): Warning consumers of the risksDate of entry into force: 20/12/2021 [8]

Recorded risk labels within this evidence task

Label combinations are source facts within one comparison; they do not create separate guides with identical preparation tasks.

Source selection, exclusions and calculation method

Filter the acquired, completely parsed English weekly XML releases. Deduplicate official alert references. Group by product category and the complete set of conditional evidence-question topics supported by actual risk text. Risk-label combinations remain recorded cohort facets and do not create buyer intents. Brand, product name, model, origin, notifying country, measurement-only changes and different wording of the same questions do not create intents. Unrecognized mechanisms stay internal for enrichment. Count report years and notifying countries deterministically. Display at most eight newest descriptions with at least 40 characters after whitespace normalization, nonempty reported measures and distinct casefolded descriptions; break date ties by official identifier. All cohort records count even if their description is shorter or not displayed. This is not a representative sample. Counts concern this acquired corpus only.

One acquired version per official public alert reference. Display at most eight newest distinct product descriptions whose normalized whitespace-collapsed text contains at least 40 characters and has nonempty reported measures; ties sort by official identifier. The complete cohort includes shorter descriptions. This is an explicit display selection, not a representative sample.

8 distinct descriptions displayed; 37 cohort records not displayed. Missing fields: {'description': 1}.

These are selected, dated enforcement observations in the acquired weekly reports, not a random market sample, market-wide failure rate, proof of current product status, or a determination about your product. Notification country is not a complete sales-market or jurisdiction-coverage field. A quoted legal/standard reference is the report’s statement, not independently verified current law or a mandatory test panel.

Turn the reported failure mechanism into a scoped investigation

Use this checklist to gather your business or product details before speaking with a specialist. The items below explain what to record and suggest useful supporting documents. You can add your own answers in the editable project brief.

  1. Protective-earth and exposed-part configuration — what evidence do we have?

    Record the actual protection design, earth connections or pin configuration and accessible conductive parts, if relevant. Compare the precise reported configuration concern with your drawings and assembly controls. An inadequately insulated earth pin does not by itself establish a failed earth connection; a word match cannot determine protection class or test scope.

    Useful evidence: Protection/connection and pin drawings, insulation/component ratings, assembly checks and relevant existing electrical evidence.

    Reported context: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]

  2. Can we trace the affected component, formula or design revision across our supplied products?

    Compare the reported descriptions with your own identifiers and change records. Treat missing or “Unknown” source fields as unresolved; they do not establish that no action was needed.

    Useful evidence: Product identifiers, revision history, supplier/batch traceability and market/operator records.

  3. Who would own an evidence review and any resulting corrective-action decision?

    Read the reported measures as historical observations. Establish your own operator roles, sector-specific rules, decision owner and communication responsibilities before adopting another case’s response.

    Useful evidence: Supply-chain responsibility map, applicable-law review, investigation scope and documented decision/communication workflow.
