APPLIANCE TEST SCHEDULE: HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU PAT TEST YOUR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT?
You can’t answer “How often should you PAT test electrical equipment?” with a single, fixed timeframe because there’s no legal requirement for annual PAT testing. The frequency is set by a risk assessment considering the electrical appliances’ usage, type, and environment.
High-risk equipment, like construction power tools, requires testing every 3-6 months. Low-risk office appliances need testing far less frequently, sometimes every 2-5 years. This systematic inspection and testing regime ensures compliance with health and safety regulations.
HIGH RISK ELECTRICAL 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 items that have never been PAT tested, we strongly advise getting a test before any electrical hazards occur. Additionally, if from a simple visual inspection you identify what looks like faulty equipment, it is always safer PAT Testing it to give you peace of mind that your electrical equipment is safe to use for you, your tenants and your employees.
