There is no warranty either provided or implied for annual
tests/inspections.  Warranty only applies to those devices you supply as
"new" to a job.  Devices can fail at any time.  The manager has to
perform his monthly and daily tests (and maintain records of those
tests).  It's usually at this stage that you can document exactly when
the device in question "failed".
