How is Testing Done?
Testing is done by a Formal Visual Inspection and Electrical Testing:
Visual Inspections: The majority of faults are picked up by simply inspecting the appliance. The cable will be inspected for cuts, fraying and damage, whether there are taped joints and whether it is secure where it enters the plug. The plug will be inspected to ensure it has the correct fuse fitted, no cracks in the casing, the cord grip is effective and that the cable terminations are secure.
Electrical Testing: All our electrical testing is conducted using up-to-date, calibrated equipment and the latest software packages to produce reports.
Frequency of Testing
The interval between periodic inspection and testing depends on a number of factors such as the type of premises. Please see Table of Portable Appliance Testing for frequency of testing.
