    The purpose is to establish if the item is safe rather than filling in a box on a test sheet. 


    That's my point I can't assure that an item is safe if I can't complete a full test run for the item class hence it must be recorded as a faulty item and marked as failed 






    So are you are quite prepared to fail brand new equipment straight out of the box from the manufacturer?




    Yes if I'm putting my name to the safety of an item is it not better to fail an item than pass it wrongly and have someone die then your held in cort on a charge of manslaughter for the death due to negligence on your part no thank you I put no price on life
