Rank: Guest		Posted By Ali I would like to know what is best practice for testing electrical portable appliances on Construction sites - both 110V and below ? I understand for 110V the Guidance is 3 months, but for cordless tools below 110V I'm not sure if 12 months is suitable ? It appears to be best practice rather than a "legal requirement" - can you concur ? Thanks, Ali
