Guidelines for Testing:

Inspection
| Flex |
the flex will be inspected for any damage, ensuring it is free from cuts, fraying or stress |
| Appliance |
the appliance will be inspected to ensure that it is in good working order, including ensuring that it switches on and off properly and that the casing or cabinet has no damage that could result in access to live parts. |
Testing
- Polarity Test (only carried out on extension cables and supply leads)
- Earth continuity test (except for Class II appliances that have no earth)
- Insulation resistance test
- Earth leakage test (if operational test carried out)
- Tests on computer equipment are "soft tests" of 200mA on earth continuity.
Labelling
- A personalized label will be attached to each appliance with the barcode ID and test date.
- Appliances that fail will be labelled with a Do not use tag and the appropriate staff member will be notified.
- We have several types of tags to suit different work environments. A large, hard-wearing, industrial Tuff Tag would not be appropriate in a hotel room.
