By being careful? If you were otherwise going to use it without testing you're not any worse off plugging it into a test setup up to your expected load.
You can step up the load gradually and keep an eye on it.
I would be more worried about the cheap no-brand test gear catching fire. I wouldn't plug my 100W charger into it.

- lazide 3y agoIt wouldn’t cause more fire incidents than just using the cable without testing, right? The tests would only run for a tiny period of time. Most fires come from too much current through too small conductors for too long. It takes time for heat to build up to fire causing levels. The type of time required to actually try to charge something.
