It is important to be careful when choosing a garland for the Christmas tree to avoid possible fires. Expert, General Director of the Association of Manufacturers and Distributors of Electrical Equipment “Honest Position” Vladimir Kashkin shared his recommendations on this issue.
Because the tests were conducted under laboratory conditions, it may be difficult for the average consumer to distinguish a high-quality wreath from a low-quality wreath, he noted. However, there are a few parameters you need to pay attention to, such as the availability of a product certificate and the correct marking of the cables with cross-section, rated power, year of manufacture and manufacturer information.
Kashkin also emphasized the importance of evaluating the price of a product: If a wreath is significantly cheaper than others, this may be a reason for consideration. He concluded that product quality also plays an important role and recommended avoiding the purchase of garlands with broken insulation, damaged wiring or poorly soldered contacts.
