The term portable appliance testing (PAT) refers to the examination of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure their safety. A visual examination can detect most electrical safety defects, but testing is the only way to detect some defects.
Portable Appliance Testing is not specifically required by law as an employer. It is still recommended to do regular PAT tests because they help meet several safety standards stipulated in regulations.
It is very important to perform PAT tests correctly if you decide to do your own PAT testing. If the person performing the test is a ‘competent’ person, your business can conduct its own PAT tests.
Plugs with structural damage, such as cracks, dents, or holes, could pose an electric shock hazard and fail a PAT test.
Our engineers test each and every type of appliance, including stoves, ovens, washers, dryers, dishwashers, garbage disposals, cords, sockets, wiring, breakers, fuses, lighting, refrigerators and more. Businesses, shops, offices, commercial properties as well as domestic clients rely on our testing service to ensure compliance and safety. For more information, please get in touch with us.
In general, electricians are qualified PAT testers. It is not necessary to be an electrician to be a PAT tester, so anyone can train, learn, and perform legal PAT tests.
Equipment classified as class 1 (general IT equipment) should be tested every four years. Testing portable equipment such as extension leads is recommended every two years. As a result of the increased risk of damage, handheld equipment and equipment that is transported and used frequently should be tested every 12 months.
We serve every area surrounding Gosport, including Dorset, Surrey, Eastleigh, Havant, Waterlooville, Portsmouth, Winchester, Fareham, Southampton, Hampshire and more.
