What is PAT Testing? (2024)
A PAT test is an inspection of some types of electrical appliances to check they are safe to use. Its purpose is to prevent electrical accidents in the workplace and reduce risks to employees, homeowners and tenants. A full PAT test will include a visual inspection and an in-depth check using PAT testing equipment. This test includes earth continuity, lead polarity, and insulation resistance checks.
Some appliances only need a reduced test, called a PAT insulation test. At the end of a PAT test, every appliance will be marked with a ‘passed’ or ‘failed’. There will also be a record of the results for you to keep on file. An example of this can be found below.
