PAT testing in schools are important as electrical appliances are constantly in use by staff and students. PAT testing in schools is very much like testing in offices as they have similar appliances such as desktop computers, printers and communication equipment. However, when carrying out a PAT test it has to be during a holiday period when students are not on the premises.
The idea that PAT testing in schools has to be done every year is wrong. This is because it all depends on what electrical appliance it is, how often it is used and how often it is moved around. So, it is not necessary to conduct a PAT test every year in schools as this will only waste time and money.
To make it manageable as schools have large amounts of electrical equipment, these appliances are tested in intervals to make the process faster and cheaper for you.
Schools are just as important to have PAT tested as every other environment especially if electrical appliances are constantly in use and are moved around as this can cause internal damages that will only be noticeable by having a PAT test done.
So to ensure that the school environment is safe, the best option is to have a PAT test done if you have not had one in a long period of time or if you have any worries and have detected any damages.
