PAT TESTING FAST EFFICIENT SERVICE
When people work with electrical appliances, health and safety regulations say that the appliance must be safe. It is a requirement that all portable electrical equipment is tested for safety. A Portable Appliance Test or PAT, in the United Kingdom is a process by which electrical appliances are routinely checked to see whether they are safe.NB: Power cables ( euro leads ) are classed as separate items as they have to be tested separately.
Portable Appliance Tests. - British law (the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 in particular) requires that all electrical systems (including electrical appliances) are maintained (so far as is reasonably practicable) to prevent danger. In most cases for musical equipment it is usually to expect testing either 6 monthly or annually.
PAT Testing - In the UK, the resulting evidence of Portable Appliance Testing (commonly known as PAT Testing or PA Testing) is clearly visible to workers in the form of 'Passed' , 'Tested For Electrical Safety' and 'DO NOT USE after' labels affixed to various parts of the electrical equipment they use.
