What is a Portable Appliance?

Portable equipment which is not part of a fixed installation but when used is connected to a fixed installation (or a generator), by means of a flexible cable, plug and socket constitutes a portable appliance. It includes equipment that is hand held or hand operated while connected to the power supply. It also includes extension leads, power leads, plugs and sockets, and cord sets that supply portable equipment and are not part of the fixed installation, since they operate in the same environment and are subject to similar use as the equipment they serve.

Why is a portable appliance test needed?

  • To make sure its safe to use

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN A PAT TEST?

  • The appliance Is it working? (Function test)
  • The lead Is it in good condition and safe?
  • Is it free from damage and nicks or cuts which could cause injury?
  • Is the cable fitted properly to the plug?
  • Does it switch on/off properly to allow you to isolate the power if needed?
  • Is there any damage to the external parts?
  • Is the correct fuse fitted? We check the rating
  • Signs of internal damage or signs of tampering ?

What does it cost to carry out PAT Testing at my premises in Norwich

All quoted prices are the same nationwide and is the same if conducted during working hours or after hours, or weekends, but it does assumes that the engineer has easy access to all the equipment to be tested.  Please note there is a daily minimum charge, then a unit rate applied depending on the total per site of which a quote will be provided.

Fixed Appliance Testing

Also available (e.g Hand Dryers, Fly Zappers etc ).  Unfortunately, these are often overlooked.

Also don’t think that your Fixed wire testing will cover this as it does not.  The EICR only covers the main building circuits
