Portable Appliance Testing

The only way to ensure that appliances are safe is to have them tested by a qualified person using the correct Portable Appliance Testing Equipment (PAT Test).

When is an inspection needed?

The relevant requirement of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 is that equipment shall be maintained so as to prevent danger.

They offer no fixed rules for the frequency of the testing and inspection of portable appliances as this depends on the type of appliance, its location and its use.

However, most businesses have adopted an annual safety policy of testing to ensure safety within the workplace.

Who should undertake an inspection?
Pat testing, portable appliance inspections should be carried out by a competent approved person.
