Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a non-destructive testing equipment and method for testing a heating element in an aerosol-generating article. The testing equipment comprises a control module comprising a passage for an aerosol-generating article to pass the control module through the passage. The control module further comprises a control circuit and a measurement device. The control circuit comprises an excitation coil configured to generate an alternating magnetic field within the passage of the control module. The measurement device is configured to determine values related to a load applied to the control circuit responsive to physical characteristics of the heating element, when the heating element passes the control module through the passage. The control module is further configured to determine if a determined value of the tested heating element corresponds to a predefined value of a predefined heating element.
