PAT Testing
Portable appliance testing (PAT) is a vital part of your responsibility as the owner of domestic, commercial or industrial premises. Each appliance in your property needs to have a CE mark to indicate that it complies with EU safety laws. Additionally, you need to carry out regular inspections and testing of the equipment. These inspections require proper documentation to detail the remedial work required, and timeframes for the completion of that work.
Failure to comply can result in costs such as fines, invalidate your insurance and also increase your risk of electrical malfunctions, which can cause fires and injury to those present in your building. Appliances that are well maintained are more energy efficient and last longer, which also saves you money.
