The Office of Competition and Consumer Protection informed about the inspection of electrical equipment 17 companies offering surge voltage strips and 10 producers of domestic electrical cables. The results are not optimistic, as the overwhelming majority of the tested items had design flaws. Slightly better, but still negative, markings of the slats. It may seem trivial, but due to these omissions, under certain conditions, a fire or electric shock may result. It is worth getting acquainted with the data provided by UOKiK. For example, to become aware of the risk caused by the use of defective equipment.

UOKiK informs about the results of the control of the Trade Inspection, which covered electrical equipment 15 producers and 2 importers. How did the cables and overvoltage lists available in our country fare?

On the website of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, reports on the inspection of electrical equipment: surge strips and electrical cables are now available. In the case of the former – 52 percent. of the tested models came from China (48 percent from Poland). Until 11 from 15 of the laboratory-tested strips had design defects such as improper insulation distances and the lack of protection of the varistor system. As many as 7 of 44 slats were incorrectly marked. This carries a risk of failure.

Ten domestic producers offering a total of 10 were also inspected models of electric cables type YDYpżo 3×1.5 mm2 450 / 750 V, which were produced in Poland . As many as 6 out of 10 models did not meet the design requirements. The irregularities concerned the insulation and resistance of the wires. In reports that you can download from the UOKiK website, the Trade Inspection provides direct advice to consumers. These may prove to be useful, which I believe will have a positive impact on security
