Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is a crucial process for ensuring the safety of electrical appliances and equipment. It involves both a thorough visual examination and, where necessary, additional testing to identify defects that may not be visible to the naked eye.

The Importance of Visual Examination and Testing

While many electrical safety issues can be identified through visual inspection, certain types of defects can only be detected through testing. Visual examination remains a critical component of PAT, as it can uncover issues that testing alone might miss. Together, these methods ensure a comprehensive evaluation of your electrical equipment’s safety.
