Portable Appliance Testing, Electrical Inspection and Testing, PAT Testing. How often do I need to test my equipment? The IEE Code of Practice suggests that the testing frequency is based on not only the type of equipment but the class of equipment and also the location, environment or type of business in which the equipment is used. Equipment Type Hand held appliances for example are much more likely to be damaged than fixed appliances. Class 1 appliances (containing an earth, i.e. 3 core) have an increased risk of danger as the safety of the appliance is dependent upon the continuity of the protective conductor from the plug to the appliance.
Users If users of equipment are trained in line with your company's own Health & Safety Policy / Training to report faults promptly either when they occur or upon visual inspection prior to using the equipment, a large number of potential hazards will be avoided. Environment Equipment Construction The safety of a Class 1 appliance is dependent upon a connection with earth of the electrical installation.
