Portable Appliance testing or PAT testing is the process of examining an electrical appliance to ensure it is safe for use. Most defects are visually identifiable but others can only be found with rigourous testing. We use a combination of visual inspection and testing to examine an appliance. We are looking for electrical flaws, damaged cables and whether the item is fit for purpose. It is important to have formal inspections of items at regular intervals, as day to day use of portable electrical appliances inevitably causes wear and tear to leads and plugs.
