PAT Testing - Ensuring The Safety Of The Electrical Appliances

The Health and safety of the citizens whether in Surrey or any other city is the top priority. Hence, PAT testing is done on electrical appliances to ensure that they are safe to use by the people. Even the manufacturers of the appliances recommend getting the products PAT tested after certain time intervals. This time period is decided by the type and the environment in which the appliance is to be used. After the testing is successfully completed, you get a PAT testing certificate in Surrey. If there are some issues with the appliances, the experts will provide you a detailed report for the same and suggest the needed repairs.

How testing is done?

This testing includes a visual inspection of the appliance. This also includes the testing of the cables to make sure that they are in good condition. This will avoid any accident from happening. Another inspection that comes under PAT is earthing or grounding. The insulation of the appliance also gets checked under this testing to make sure that it is totally electric proof. They also check the appliance for the current test to make sure that the proper amount of current is reaching the appliance or there is no risk of shock.

Done by external companies

PAT testing is not done by any government authority. It can only be done by an external company but the company needs to have trained professionals to do the testing. The professional must know how to test an appliance in a certain condition.
