1. An electromechanical actuator for a closure, covering or solar protection installation, the electromechanical actuator comprising
a casing comprising an assembly element;
an electric motor assembled within the casing in an assembled configuration of the electromechanical actuator; and
a torque support disposed at a first end of the casing in the assembled configuration of the electromechanical actuator, the torque support comprising
at least one first assembly element configured to be assembled with the assembly element of the casing, according to a first assembly configuration of the torque support relative to the casing, the first assembly configuration corresponding to a functional assembly configuration of the electromechanical actuator in which the electromechanical actuator is used in the closure, covering, or solar protection installation, and
at least one second assembly element different in shape from the at least one first assembly element of the torque support, the at least one second assembly element of the torque support being configured to be assembled with the assembly element of the casing, according to a second assembly configuration of the torque support relative to the casing, the second assembly configuration corresponding to a testing configuration of the electromechanical actuator in which a testing of the electromechanical actuator is able to be performed,
wherein the torque support is configured to be rotated relative to the casing, around an axis of rotation of the electromechanical actuator and in the first assembly configuration, into a first orientation of the torque support relative to the casing,
the torque support is configured to be rotated relative to the casing, around the axis of rotation and in the second assembly configuration, into a second orientation of the torque support relative to the casing, and
the first and second orientations of the torque support relative to the casing are offset from each other, around the axis of rotation, by a predetermined non-zero angular value.
