What Is PAT Testing?
Portable Appliance Testing is the inspection and, where appropriate, electrical testing of equipment to help determine whether it is safe for continued use.
The inspection and testing required depends on the type of equipment, its electrical class, how it is used and the environment in which it operates. Not every appliance requires exactly the same electrical tests.
WHAT WE CHECK
Visual Inspection
Plugs, cables, casings and equipment are visually checked for damage, wear and other safety concerns.
Earth Continuity
Where appropriate, earth continuity testing checks the integrity of the protective earth connection.
Insulation Resistance
Where appropriate, insulation resistance testing helps assess the condition of electrical insulation.
Results & Labelling
Test results are recorded and equipment clearly identified following inspection and testing.
Polarity
Applicable equipment and leads can be checked for correct wiring and polarity.
WHO NEEDS PAT TESTING?
PAT Testing is suitable for a wide range of workplaces, rental properties and commercial premises where electrical equipment is provided or used. Regular inspection and testing can form part of an effective electrical safety maintenance programme and help identify damaged or potentially unsafe equipment before it causes a problem.
✓ Offices & commercial premises
✓ Landlords & rental properties
✓ Shops & retail premises
✓ Warehouses & workshops
✓ Factories & manufacturing sites
✓ Schools, churches & community buildings
✓ Hospitality businesses
✓ Portable tools & workplace equipment
HOW OFTEN SHOULD PAT TESTING BE CARRIED OUT?
There is no single fixed PAT Testing frequency that applies to every electrical appliance or workplace.
How often equipment should be inspected and tested depends on factors such as the type of equipment, how frequently it is used, the environment it is used in, its electrical class and the results of previous inspections and tests.
Equipment used in harsher environments or moved frequently may require inspection and testing more often than equipment that remains in a low-risk office environment.
Not Sure When Your Equipment Is Due?
WP Extinguishers can help you establish an appropriate inspection and testing programme for your workplace and keep clear records of the equipment tested.
