Specifies the procedures and criteria for the in-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment which is designed for connection by flexible cord. It also applies to cord extension sets, portable outlet devices, portable residual current devices and portable isolation transformers. Appendices include detailed test methods. It does not cover type approval tests for the design and construction of the equipment, nor does it include any procedural rules for the safe use of equipment.

Scope

This Standard specifies procedures for the safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment; low voltage single phase and polyphase, which is to be entered into service for the first time, or which is already in-service, has been serviced, or is available for hire or resale (see Note 1).
Electrical equipment includes: (see Notes 2 and 3)
(a) Portable, hand held and stationary appliances, designed for connection to the low voltage supply by a flexible cord (see Note 4).
(b) Cord Extension Sets and Electrical Portable Outlet Devices (EPODs – power boards)
(c) Flexible cords connected to fixed equipment in certain environments (see Note 2).
(d) Portable isolation transformers.
(e) RCDs – Portable type (PRCD), socket outlet type and fixed switchboard type.
NOTES:
1 New equipment, being placed into service, requires written evidence of compliance to the relevant standard, or to this standard.
2 Fixed equipment is not normally considered to represent a hazard unless the flexible cord is subject to flexing in normal use or the whole equipment is open to abuse or is in a hostile environment, e.g. window mounted type room air conditioners are not considered to represent a hazard.
3 Specialised electronic equipment, e.g. portable computers, may sustain damage if not tested in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Accordingly advice should be sought from the manufacturer or agent before proceeding with in-service tests.
4 Inspection and test includes the flexible cord connected to equipment.
