-
Labeling
- A label is affixed to the appliance indicating whether it has passed or failed as well as additional information including the test date, re-test date and Appliance ID number assigned to it
-

PAT Test scheduling
The frequency of portable appliance testing is determined by several factors, this includes the type of
equipment and its classification, the frequency in which it is used and/or moved and the environment in which it is operating.
Our PAT Testing Engineers will specify your exact requirements.
We use the IET Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment 3rd Edition guidelines to help determine this.
