Hi Everyone,
I'm just wondering, when you see appliances in Schools, Hospitals, Hotels etc. I've noticed the little "safety test passed" stickers on them. It shows who it was tested by, when it was tested and when it's due to be tested again. And this brings me to vacuums.
When they test the vacuums, how do they test them? Do they leave the machine running for 5 minutes and then assume it's safe? Or do they open the machine up and make sure everything is in working order? Or do they actually use the machine and test the suction? Or do they just leave it running for an hour or so?
It just came into my head, and I've been wondering about it.
Thanks,
- Joe
