PAT Testing - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What is Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)?

PAT Testing is an important part of a company's or individual's responsibility to health and safety. This is done using a series of specialised testing procedures on your portable appliances.

• What does a test consist of?

The test starts with a visual inspection checking for:
* Damaged flexes
* Damaged plugs and equipment (overheating, burn marks, discolouration)
* Correctly wired plugs
* Correctly rated fuse

Then a series of tests (depending on the class of equipment) including:
* Earth continuity testing
* Insulation resistance
* Polarity test
* Earth leakage test

• What is classed as a portable appliance?

A portable appliance is any equipment which is powered between 40 and 240 volts and which is connected to the electrical mains through a plug, usually 13 amp.

• Do I have to get my equipment PAT tested?

The law states that all equipment must be in a safe condition and fit for use. See Regulation 4 (2) of the Electricity At Work Regulations 1989.

With a regular maintenance schedule in place PAT Testing ensures that all equipment is safe and fit for use.

In the Health & Safety At Work Act 1974, all employers have a legal duty to provide safe plant and equipment and every employer must ensure that equipment must be maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and good repair.

• How often do my appliances have to be tested?

This will be dependant on your company's risk assessment and maintenance schedule.

• Does this affect our insurance cover?

Insurance companies assume that when giving insurance cover to a business, the owners of that business are complying with all regulations necessary. An insurance company may reduce, delay or even refuse to pay on a claim for damage if an appliance that has not been tested has caused the damage.

• How much will PAT testing cost?

This will depend on how many items need testing.
