In order to successfully Test and Tag a 3 Phase appliance, there are three tests you can perform:
· an Earth Bond(an essential test)
· Insulation Resistance and Leakage test.

For a PASS, you require: Earth Bond has to be less than 1?, the Insulation Resistance has to have a minimum of 1 M? and the leakage test has to be less than 5Ma.

Radiation leakage from electronic equipment presents problems because the energy source is not clearly defined. The location of the leakage source has to be found by trial and error. When we check the microwave we determine if the radiation from the use of the microwave is seeping through the seals.

The microwave leakage at any point 50mm or more from the external surface of the appliance shall not exceed 50W/m2 (5mW/cm2).

Emergency and exit light testing are required to do every six months under Australian Standards 2293.2.
