Portable Appliance Testing - What is PAT Testing?

Portable Appliance Testing. Known as "PAT", "PAT inspection" or "PAT testing" is the name given when electrical appliances are routinely checked for safety. Testing is through a visual inspection of the equipment and any flexible cables for condition.
Sometimes where required - the verification of earthing continuity and a test of the integrity of insulation between the current carrying parts and any exposed metal that could be touched during use.
 The Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment is published by the IET, Institution of Engineering and Technology.

Health and safety regulations require that electrical appliances are safe and maintained to prevent harm to workers.
Many equipment manufacturers recommend testing at regular intervals to ensure continual safety; the interval between tests depending on both the type of appliance and the environment in which it is to be used.
