Portable Appliance Testing is the electrical safety testing of portable electrical equipment. It consists of a visual inspection and various electrical tests carried out using test equipment. Appliances that have passed the equipment are deemed to be safe to use until the next test date.

The intervals between test is normally 12 months but can be between 6 to 24 months dependent on the environment. We normally put a 12 month annual Re-Test Date.

Integrated appliances and hard wired appliances p where the plug point is not accessible a visual inspection and an earth test (where appropriate) will be performed.
