Portable Appliance Testing
The process of portable appliance test or PAT involves routine check-ups of electric or electronic appliances to see whether they are safe. Appropriately, the term for the whole process is in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment. The different appliances require testing at regular intervals to ensure continual safety - the interval between tests depends on both the type of appliance and the environment where it is used. It also depends on the precautionary measures instituted by the manufacturers and suppliers. As consumers, it is important to see if the appliances are tested already. Basically, products that are tested have visible marks indicating “Passed” or “Tested for Electrical Safety” labels. These labels are then affixed to various parts of the electrical equipment.
