What is PAT Testing?
PAT Testing formally known as Portable Appliance Testing is a visual and electronical test which involves the checking of the safety of the appliances in your building or rented property. It is essential for Landlords and business owners to carry out regular PAT testing to ensure the safety of the equipment being used. During the test, an electrician will check the overall condition of an appliance and make sure there are no visual defects. Following that, they will do an inject test to check the appliances integrity. On completion, an electrician will let you know if the appliances are safe or need replacing.
