What happens during a Pat Test?

We carry out a number of inspections and tests.

1. A visual examination – We look for any damage to the appliance that may cause it to be faulty. This is an incredibly important part as most fails happen at this stage.

2. An in-depth inspection and test – This helps us pick up on any damage that may not be immediately visible. It includes earth continuity, lead polarity and insulation resistance checks. the appliance will need to be unplugged.

3. Once we’ve completed these tests, we conduct a function check to ensure that everything works as it should do.

What needs to be Pat Tested?

Any appliance that has a plug needs to be PAT tested. This includes:

1. Stationary equipment. ie. Fridges, freezers.

2. IT equipment ie all pc's like pc tower & laptops.

3. Moveable equipment under 18kg ie. kettles, blenders.

4. Portable equipment ie. table saws.

5. Hand-held equipment ie. power tools.

Can anyone carry out Pat testing?

NO.

As a Pat Tester I had to undergo extensive training. I had to sit an exam and learn how to use the complicated equipment. (yes i did test everything in my own home).

To carry out a PAT test you need to have the right training. Ideally, you need to hold a certification in PAT testing or higher. You’d also have to buy a PAT testing machine which needs annual calibration and labels to generate reports too.

I am certified, insured  & DBS checked so you can be and assured all of your appliances are compliant.
