Ah, there's a thought. Especially if it was brand new, exactly the
same as they had and we were going to leave it there ;-)

I wrote the rules for a former employer. That specified that
brand new appliances with molded-on mains plugs didn't need
testing unless there was any suspicion of damage in transit.
In our situation, I deemed that to be an acceptable risk,
and never did come across anything which failed dangerously
as a result.
