load 3sqmm, neutral 2.5sqmm and ground 1sqmm wires are used in my house to a 16amp socket(for 1000watt standalone water heater).
wires lenght is 1/4 meter
My electric system is singlephase 240volt.
Is it dangerous?

It isn't wired to British Standard 7671, as there's no such thing as a 16A domestic socket in the UK.
So, what does the relevant national electrical safety code have to say about it?
A bucket of water is dangerous - one can drown in it!
