When inspecting appliances, which of these is NOT typically done?

When inspecting appliances, the typical focus is on their safe operation, efficiency, and adherence to installation standards. Checking for efficiency ensures that the appliance is working optimally and consuming energy effectively. Inspecting for safe operation involves looking for any hazards that may pose a risk to users, such as frayed wires or improper venting. Verifying installation standards ensures that the appliance is set up correctly according to code and manufacturer specifications, which is important for functionality and safety.

Testing for radiation leaks is generally not a common practice during a standard appliance inspection, particularly for most household appliances. This type of testing is more specific to certain appliances, like microwaves, and is not a routine part of typical inspections for all appliances. Hence, while it's an important aspect of specialized evaluations, it does not fall under the general checklist of procedures during a standard appliance inspection.
