The Tekhnodom store seized 81 units of the VITEK VT-1122 TR kettle model, with a capacity of 1.7 liters, from shelves throughout Kazakhstan. In addition, the supplier was sent a demand to suspend further deliveries until the violations are eliminated.

The Department of the Committee for Technical Regulation and Metrology for the East Kazakhstan Region, at the request of a consumer, conducted a test purchase of the said electric kettle sold in one of the Ust-Kamenogorsk stores and checked the products for compliance with the requirements of the technical regulations of the Customs Union "On the safety of low-voltage equipment" (TR CU 004/2011).

Based on the results of laboratory tests, it was established that the power of the kettle deviates significantly from the norm. At 220 V, the actual power was 1617 W (-12.6%), and at 240 V - 1824 W (-17.1%). Such deviations may pose a potential threat to the health and safety of consumers.

In connection with the identified violations, the seller of the Tekhnodom store was sent a notice of withdrawal of products from sale.

For the sale of goods that do not meet the requirements of technical regulations, administrative liability is provided in accordance with Art. 415 of the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Administrative Offenses. Sanctions include a fine for individuals in the amount of 90, for officials, small business entities or non-profit organizations - in the amount of 195, for medium-sized businesses - in the amount of 310, for large businesses - in the amount of 600 MCI
