Portable Appliance Test From FIRECHECK NORTH WEST
LTD
In the United Kingdom Portable Appliance Testing
is a process by which electrical appliances are routinely
checked to see if they are safe.
When people work with electrical appliances, Health and
Safety regulations say the appliance must be safe. Testing
should be carried out at regular intervals to ensure continual
safety; the interval between tests depending on both the types
of appliance and the environment it is used in.
Many people will have seen evidence of portable appliance
testing in the little labels stuck to power cables around
their offices.
Many people assume that all appliances have to be tested
every year, but this is not the case. All that British law
requires is that the appliances are safe as far as is reasonably
practicable. However, guidance from the Institution of Electrical
Engineers (IEE) and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)
suggest intervals for inspection and testing, ranging from
construction equipment to computers in offices.
Portable Appliance Testing is abbreviated to 'PAT.' The
phrase 'PAT Testing' is in fact a tautology in the same way
that some people say 'LCD Display' However, the phrase is
commonly used in the industry even though most people realise
it is incorrect. The correct term for the whole process is
'In-service Inspection & Testing of Electrical Equipment'.
