PAT Testing

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is a process commonly used in the United Kingdom and some other countries to ensure the safety of electrical appliances and equipment used in various settings, such as homes, workplaces, schools, and public facilities.

The main objective is test appliances and identify potential electrical hazards, so reducing risk of electrical accidents, fires and injuries.

Why Is PAT Testing Important?

Electrical appliances can deteriorate or become damaged over time, increasing the risk of electrical faults and hazards, including electrical shocks, fires, and damage to the equipment.

PAT testing helps identify potential issues early and ensures that electrical appliances remain safe for use.

The PAT Testing Process

The process begins with a visual examination of the appliance to check for any visible damage, loose or exposed wiring, or other issues that could compromise safety.

Various electrical tests are performed to ensure that the appliance operates correctly and detailed records of the PAT testing process are maintained for auditing and compliance purposes.
