PAT testing should form part of your health and safety reporting. PAT testing protects you and keeps your employees, visitors or guests safe.
What needs to be Portable Appliance Tested (PAT)?
There are three different classes and seven categories. Class 1 means it needs to be fully PAT tested, Class 2 means it needs a PAT insulation test, while Class 3 means it doesn’t need to be tested (though charging cables may need to be). Wessex PAT testing can test items in all three classes on site or at our workshop in Milborne St Andrew near Blandford.
The categories of items are as follows:
- Fixed appliances
- Stationary appliances
- IT appliances
- Moveable appliances
- Portable appliances
- Cables and chargers
- Handheld appliances
