With a child being electrocuted to death from a games console mains charge recently, the need to ensure that electrical equipment is safe, in working order and bought from a reputable retailer is vital for your family’s safety.
Having your portable electrical equipment PAT tested can save your home from catching fire and stop your family members from being seriously injured or killed from electric shock. By highlighting problems, a PAT test could save your life.A portable appliance test is performed on all electrical equipment that can be moved around. The test checks the safety of your appliances and ensures there are no faults which could be dangerous.
These tests will either pass or fail your appliances. If they pass they are safe to use, if they fail they are unsafe and should not be used as this means they are at risk of causing electric shock or fire.
With some faults being unseen, if you choose not to get your portable appliances tested, you may not be aware of the dangers until it is too late. A qualified PAT tester carries out these tests and is competent in testing all equipment for dangers.
