What Does PAT Testing Mean?
Portable appliance testing, often referred to as PAT testing, is used to describe the examination of electrical equipment or electrical appliances, to ensure that they are safe to use.
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 requires that any electrical equipment that has the potential to cause injury is maintained in a safe condition, hence why PAT testing is needed.
Having your electrical equipment regularly PAT tested means you can meet their obligations under Health and Safety regulations.
How Often Should My Appliances Be PAT Tested?
There are no specific rules for the frequency of PAT tests. However, regulations suggest the level of precaution that should be taken, should also be ‘appropriate’ to the risk.
There are 3 main points which determine testing frequency:
– Risk level in the working environment
– Electrical class of the appliance
– Category of the appliance
We would also recommend taking the following into consideration as necessary:
– Manufacturer’s recommendations
– How old the equipment is
– How often the appliance is used
– Any misuse of the equipment
– Any modifications or repairs
We would recommend that any electrical equipment is tested annually, although, in special circumstances, this may need to be more frequently.
