Important:
IF RESULT IS A FAIL
If a Device Under Test (DUT) fails any of the above, it should be deemed to have
FAILED the Visual Test, and therefore no other tests need be performed. If this is
the case the DUT should be tagged with a danger tag and removed from service.
It is recommended by the manufacturer and distributor of this product that if a
DUT has failed a test it SHOULD NOT BE RETURNED TO SERVICE. To do so
would be considered unsafe.
THIS TEST IS TO OCCUR BEFORE ANY OTHER TEST
IS CARRIED OUT USING ANY OF THE RANGE OF
TnT APPLIANCE TESTERS.
