PAT Testing

Portable Appliance Testing service offered by Swindon based Master PAT Testing.

Every service or repair qualifies for a free PAT test.

Portable appliance testing (commonly known as 'PAT', 'PAT Inspection' or 'PAT Testing') is the name of a process by which electrical appliances are routinely checked for safety in the UK. The correct term for the entire process is 'In-service inspection & testing of electrical equipment'.

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. The European Low Voltage Directive governs the manufacture or importation of electrical appliances. Compliance to this has to be declared and indicated by the display of the CE mark on the product. The responsibility for this lies with the manufacturer or the importer and is policed by Trading Standards.

British law (the Electricity at Work Regulations Act of 1989) requires that all electrical systems (including electrical appliances) are maintained (so far as is reasonably practicable) to prevent danger.

Portable Appliance Testing is available on all electrical equipment, if you are interested in getting your equipment tested please get in touch.
