How do you check that the test equipment is suitable for the tests you are to carry out and can cover the range and values you are to measure?

To ensure that the test equipment is suitable for the tests you plan to conduct, first review the equipment specifications to confirm it covers the required measurement range and accuracy. Check the calibration status of the equipment to ensure its reliability and compliance with industry standards. Additionally, consult the manufacturer's guidelines and any relevant testing protocols to verify that the equipment is appropriate for the specific tests being performed. Finally, conducting a preliminary test with known values can help validate the equipment's capability.
