What is Considered a Portable Appliance?
A portable appliance is any electrical device that is not part of a fixed installation and can be easily plugged in and moved. This includes items such as:
- Laptops
- Power tools
- Kitchen appliances
- Extension leads
- And more!
Why is a PAT Test Necessary?
Conducting a PAT test is essential for verifying that your portable appliances are safe for use. This helps your organization comply with health and safety regulations, including the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations and the Electricity at Work Regulations. Additionally, using untested appliances could potentially invalidate your insurance policy, exposing your organization to unnecessary risks.
What Does a PAT Test Involve?
Our engineers follow a thorough process during a PAT test, which includes:
-
Visual Inspection: The engineer checks the appliance for any visible signs of damage, ensures it is in good working order, verifies that it has not been tampered with, and confirms the correct fuse is fitted.
-
Safety Testing: This involves several critical tests, including:
- Earth Continuity Testing
- Insulation Resistance Testing
- Protective Conductor/Touch Current Testing
-
Functionality Check: Finally, the engineer powers up the appliance to ensure it operates correctly. The appliance is then labeled as either passed or failed based on the results of the testing.
