Passed!
But from memory when I studied the inspection and testing of in-service electrical equipment it is acceptable. Best Practice Guide page 8 covers plugs, nothing is said about sleeves.BS 7671 is for fixed wiring. This is about portable appliance testing and some half wit who's been on a 'course' and deems this plugtop acceptable.
Because it's damaged. Basic stuff.So there is a small chip in the plug top. The plug bottom does not have sleeved pins. The whole thing is dirty. The cord grip seems OK. Regs are not retrospective. So why should it not pass?
I notice the label is on the flex rather than the plug.
Could it be that the plug was intended to be replaced, but no one got round to it??
I think you'll find that BS1362 says ... " red for 3A, brown for 13A and black for 'anything else' " (so black for 1A, 10A and others, as well as 5A).... It was red = 3A, black = 5A and brown 13A although seen other colours so not 100%.
I was working on the building of T5 Heathrow, as with any big job we had to attend safety lecturers, one was about only using equipment that had been PAT tester, and I pointed out in the office being used for the lecture around 1/3 of the items had not been PAT tested, he had stated anything not PAT tested must not be used, but when it was pointed out most of the computer lead sets had not been tested, they did not turn them all off.Supervisor went apes**t when I pointed it out that the equipment and extensions should have been tested as separate entities, each with their own labels.
