:: What requires testing? Many E.C. Directives relating to workplace safety, and the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) put the onus on the employer to ensure a safe working environment. This includes ensuring that electrical equipment or electrical tools are supplied safe and in good working order. Section 4 (2) of the electricity at work regulations (1989) focuses on this “Duty of care” in relation to any appliance connected to the electricity supply via a removable plug. So in short, mainly movable items with a plug attached. This includes, among other items: Business equipment. computers, printers, scanners, shredders Telephone and audio equipment requiring mains power Extension cables, adapters for mobile phones and laptops Kettles, microwaves, toasters and other powered kitchen appliances Cleaning equipment, vacuum cleaners, floor polishers 110V and 240V site equipment Note: We only test appliances that required testing, under the IEE code of practice, saving you both inconvenience and especially cost.
