TESTS CONDUCTED

1. Earth Continuity Test
2. Visual inspection
3. Insulation Resistance Test
4. Leakage Test
5. Continuity of protective conductors.
6. Insulation resistance.
7. Protection by separation of circuits.
8. Floor and wall resistance.
9. Automatic disconnection of supply.
10. Polarity.
11. Functional performance.

NB: The visual inspection is carried out first to confirm that permanently-wired electrical equipment is compliant with the safety requirements and not visibly damaged, and that fire barriers, protective, monitoring, isolating and switching devices and the relevant documentation are present.
