Irrespective of categorisation, most of these appliances are more easily (and quickly) tested during a fixed wiring inspection and test than independently. It's only a matter of leaving the local isolator closed and IR testing the circuit plus appliance. Then checking earth continuity where applicable. Obviously, if you get a low IR reading, then you need to isolate and test separately to localise the fault.

Agree totally although if I get a low IR test that is the reading I include on the schedule as to me the appliance is part of the circuit.
