Portable Appliance Testing
What is a portable appliance? A portable appliance is simply an item of electrical equipment, which is connected to the power supply by means of a plug and socket.
Why you need portable appliances tested? There are a number of reasons why appliances should be tested on a regular basis, but the most important ones are:-
- To comply with The Electricity at Work Regulations
- To comply with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulation
- To minimise the risk of fire and injury caused by electrical appliances
- To satisfy your Insurance Company
- To comply with all Health & Safety requirements and ISO standards
- Quality Assurances also requires you to comply
Also, One of the first things Fire Officers and Health & Safety Inspectors usually ask to see on any inspection visit is PAT records.
