PAT Testing

Summary of PAT Testing Services from PASS fm

PAT Testing is an essential aspect of your company’s health & safety policy to ensure that your staff aren’t harmed by any electrical equipment within your business premises. PAT Testing should be performed regularly to protect your employees, customers and you, against any accidents and liability within the workplace. PAT Testing is carried out by your business in accordance with guidelines stated in the IEE Code of Practice.

What is involved in PAT Testing Services?

When you carry out a PAT test it is in 3 steps.

User check
This informs the use or any potential danger signs, and an appliance can fail on this check i.e. a frayed cable can be marked as ‘not safe to use’.
Formal visual Inspection
This is a simple process of visually inspection all of the appliance, cable and plug for obvious faults, including the fuse and wiring of the plug should be tested.
Combined Inspections and PAT testing
This is the main test, that involves the PAT testing equipment. This determines if the device is electrically safe to use on the ‘class of construction’ i.e. Class 1, Class 2 and so forth.
