What is Portable Appliance Testing?

What?

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is a safety procedure carried out by a qualified contractor. A PAT tester will perform a visual inspection and test, using specialist PAT testing equipment. Only high voltage power cables and devices require testing. Depending on the condition of the appliance and the test result, the item will be given a “PASS” or “FAIL” status. Health and safety regulations state preventing harm to workers and other personnel through well maintained electrical appliances is paramount. Manufacturers of portable appliances recommend testing at regular intervals to ensure the continued safety of their products.

Why do you need testing?

Why?

The Electricity at Work Regulations place a legal responsibility on employers, employees and self-employed persons to comply with the provisions of the regulations. Taking reasonably practicable steps to ensure that no danger results from the use of such equipment.

Frequency of testing?

When?
