Question:

Why would Toaster,Kettle and Electric blanket companies?

need to test them for resistance? what could happen? thank you :)

Answer:

Measuring resistance can detect short circuit in the device. Full short circuit will blow a fuse, but a partial one might only overheat the device and start a fire.
It's for energy star ratings, and EPA mandates
