Pat Testing

Portable Appliance Testing or as it is more commonly known as PAT testing, involves a process of periodically inspecting and testing of electrical equipment or appliances to ensure they are safe for use.

Firstly all appliances will receive a formal visual inspection to ensure both the flexible cable and the appliance are free from wear and tear, damage, signs of burning, plug tops are also opened to ensure correct wiring, correct fuse rating and again free from damage or signs of overheating.

Providing the appliance successfully passes the formal visual inspection, the appliance will then be subjected to a series of electrical tests depending on its classification; all testing will be performed by a PAT tester with a valid calibration certificate.

Labelling

All appliances which pass both the formal visual inspection and test will be clearly identified with a Green pass label; the label will contain a unique identification number, engineer’s initials, test date, and re-test date.

Any appliances that fail either the formal visual inspection or test will be clearly identified with a Red failed label; the label will contain a unique identification number and reason for failure. These items will be reported to your nominated responsible person and removed from service until adequately repaired
