Portable Appliance Testing is the in-service inspection and testing of any 240Volt Electrical Appliance fitted with a 13amp plug or any 110Volt appliance, to ensure the appliance is safe and for use as set out in the IEE Regulations for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment.
Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing includes various equipment types - from battery operated to mains appliances - including portable, transportable, hand held, stationary and IT equipment. PAT Testing forms an integral part of any Health & Safety programme which ensures companies comply with Insurance requirements and the Electricity At Work (EAW) Regulations 1989.
Various tests will be carried out including:
Function test
Insulation Resistance test
Earth leakage
Earth continuity
Visual inspection
Generally we recommend appliances are PAT tested annually, however there are exceptions to special locations. Please contact us for further advice.
