Why is the testing of appliances important?
These pictures show how dangerous appliances can be.
 Ok, lets play guess the fuse rating! |  A simple table lamp wired back to front and a 13A fuse |  Same table lamp-no insulation on the pins |
|---|---|---|
 |  Some charge their phone overnight or under a pillow. This was still being used |  Plasticiser from the PVC insulation breakdown covers the terminals. This is toxic! |
 This cable was damaged to the extent of having the live wire exposed. |  The plasticiser from the plug in the previous pic had started leaking via the earth pin. |  A microwave cover missing allowing radiation to leak |
 This microwave had more rust than my car! |  All 3 pins had a layer of grease top to bottom. A serious risk of fire and electric shock. |  No insulation on the pins |
 Held together by a bit of tape and a lack of outer insulation on the cable. |  |  |
 A common problem with cables or flexes running along the floor |  |  |
 |  |  A fire waiting to happen! |
