What To Expect During PAT Testing
During your Portable Appliance Testing (PAT), your electrician will check all portable electrical equipment, including computers, chargers, extension cords, and others, to make sure that they work correctly and are safe to use.
They will first carry out a visual inspection of the items, checking for faults such as damaged wires or faulty connections. They will then use a portable appliance tester to carry out an earth continuity test and other checks to ensure that your appliances are safe for use.
Appliances that pass will be issued with a green sticker detailing the date of the inspection and who it was carried out by. If an item fails, then you will be informed, and it should not be used. If you work with Jack Jones Electrical, our team of skilled electricians can advise you on whether the item is worth repairing or not. Operating across Swadlincote, Derby, Leicester, Tamworth, Nottingham and beyond, we’re ready and waiting to carry out your PAT testing. Call 07508 706527 to book your site visit and find out more.
