PAT testing

The reasons for carrying out inspection and testing of electrical equipment is to ascertain what maintenance may need to be carried out. Inspection and testing on it's own will not guarantee compliance with the Electricity at work regulations. Compliance is only obtained by continued maintenance of systems to maintain the safety of those systems and equipment.

Equipment inspection and test

Managers of premises have legal responsibility to ensure that the electrical equipment in their charge is safe. To achieve this level of safety through use of the Code of Practice requires three categories of specifically trained persons (in addition to a general awareness by all staff of the dangers of electricity) as follows:

• Managers of the premises
• Managers of the inspection and test organisation
• Those who inspect and test

The above division of tasks and responsibilities does not presume that one person may not carry out two or all of the required functions. It is however stressed that a person must be trained in each of the areas and be competent to undertake the work and interpret the results as appropriate. Cherwell Fire Safety have fully qualified electrical technicians who carry out portable appliance testing throughout all counties.
