PORTABLE APPLIANCE TEST (PAT) what is it?.

A Portable Appliance Tester  or PAT, Is a process by which electrical appliances are routinely checked to see whether they are safe.  The correct term for the whole process is In-service inspection & Testing of Electrical Equipment.

So Why Do We Do PAT?

When people work with electrical appliances, Health & Safety regulations say that the appliance must be safe. Many types of equipment require testing at regular intervals to ensure continual safety; the interval between tests depending on both the type of appliance and the environment it is used in.

How Do You Know If An Appliance Has Been Tested?

The resulting evidence of Portable Appliance Testing (commonly known as PAT or PAT Testing) is clearly visible to workers in the form of 'Passed' , 'Tested For Electrical Safety' and 'DO NOT USE ' labels affixed to various parts of the electrical equipment they use.
