Tests Undertaken
Once an appliance has passed the visual inspection the equipment may now be tested for electrical safety using the following tests
Earth continuity
This first test ensures that an earth is present between the metalwork of an appliance and the earth pin of the plug. This test is carried out on all class one and some class three equipment.
Insulation resistance
This test is carried out on all classes of equipment. The test is to ascertain any breakdown in the insulation protecting the conductors.
Formal Visual Inspection
The Formal Visual Inspection may form part of the combined inspection and tests when they coincide, and will be recorded.
Earth Leakage
This test measures the leakage current of earth during the operation of the appliance and is also carried out on all classes of equipment.
