An appliance tester which is also known as portable appliance testing or PAT is the testing of electrical equipment to ensure that they are safe to use. Each appliance goes through a visual inspection followed by an earth continuity test, lead polarity and insulation resistance checks.
It is important that your electrical appliances are tested as this ensure that no one is at risk at your place of work or home. It is an easy procedure that can be completed quickly (depending on the number of electrical items) that will prevent any dangerous accidents.
Some people may be unsure of what actually need to be PAT tested. It is any appliance that has a plug and that will be connected to a wall socket or generator.
An appliance test is carried out by a PAT testing engineer as they have the required knowledge and experience. They also know what equipment to use and how to use the equipment well. They are also able to interpret the results for you and advise you about the next appliance testing or any other questions you may have.
