This test should be performed on all cord sets, receptacles that aren't part of a building or structure's permanent wiring, and cord-and-plug connected equipment required to be grounded. The point of this test is to make sure that the equipment grounding conductor is electrically continuous

A continuity test

Explanation:

A continuity test is used to verified that current will flow in an electrical circuit, it performed by placing a small voltage across the chosen path. continuity test ensure that the equipment grounding conductor is electrically continuous and this test is perform on all the cord sets, receptacles that aren't part of a building or structure's permanent wiring, and cord-and-plug connected equipment required to be grounded. example of equipment used in testing current flow in continuity test are Analog multi-meter, voltage/continuity tester etc.

Continuity test and terminal connection test are the two test required by OSHA on all electrical equipment
