Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the process of checking electrical appliances for safety through a series of visual inspections and electronic tests.
The best way of ensuring that your appliances are safe is to have a PAT test carried out on them. This is a good way for businesses to ensure that they are meeting their legal obligations to maintain high standards of electrical safety in their buildings.
To establish the safety and suitability of your electrical appliances we will carry out a visual inspection of the appliance. For Class [1] equipment we will also inject test signals into the cable and appliance to ensure their integrity.
Upon completion of the inspection and testing you will receive a report that details the following as a minimum:
1) A report containing each appliance type, name, location and description
2) A full set of test results for each appliance tested
3) A full list of any failed items with an explanation of their failure
4) A visible pass or fail label on each appliance detailing the inspection date, next test due and the inspector’s signature.
