The PAT Test Company came along and sorted our equipment out in a fuss free manner. With no extra charges. They even changed fuses and re-fixed broken leads at no extra cost. Highly recommended.
Portable appliance testing (PAT) is the term used to describe the examination of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use. Most electrical safety defects can be found by visual examination but some types of defect can only be found by testing. However, it is essential to understand that visual examination is an essential part of the process because some types of electrical safety defect can't be detected by testing alone.
The frequency of inspection and testing depends upon the type of equipment and the environment it is used in. For example, a power tool used on a construction site should be examined more frequently than a lamp in a hotel bedroom.
New equipment should be supplied in a safe condition and not require a formal portable appliance inspection or test. However, a simple visual check is recommended to verify the item is not damaged.
The equipment has exposed parts. The incorrect fuse has been fitted. The cable or plug is damaged or worn. The equipment fails to pass an Earth resistance test, polarity test or insulation resistance check.
What electrical equipment doesn't need PAT testing? If you have electrical equipment that runs off batteries rather than the mains (for example a wireless keyboard or mouse), you don't need to test them.
That can include anything from large appliances like refrigerators, vending machines and photocopiers to small devices like phone chargers, extension leads and kettles. As a very rough estimate, PAT testing for a site with 50 appliances would take 2-3 hours.
