HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU PAT TEST YOUR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT?
We advise PAT Testing should be done every 12 months as this is how long your label will last. You don’t want to risk leaving it and getting caught with out-of-date tests or even worse, if any damage or harm was done after your PAT Test expired, and then you are responsible for said damage or harm.
It may even be worth considering PAT testing your appliances more regularly than annually if they are in constant use, just to ease your mind that you are keeping yourself, your tenants, and your employees safe.
HIGH RISK APPLIANCES
The following appliances are responsible for the most fires when faulty:
- Toasters and Toaster Ovens.
- Electric Cookers and Stoves.
- Refrigerators and Freezers.
- Washing Machines.
- Dishwashers.
- Clothes Dryers.
If you have a long-serving appliance that has never been PAT tested, we strongly advise you get it checked. Also, if you notice any strange faults with an item, a PAT test will give you peace of mind that it’s safe to use.
