Many types of equipment require testing at regular intervals to ensure continual safety; the interval between tests depending on both the type of appliance and the environment it is used in. Evidence of testing is then clearly visible in the form of 'Passed', 'Tested for Electrical Safety' and 'DO NOT USE after' labels affixed to various parts of the electrical equipment used.
