PAT Testing
The examples used may not be appropriate
for your business but I’m sure you will get the idea.
Basically, anything that can be moved has to be maintained.
The reason for this is that most of the damage occurs
to the power cord or the plug and the chances of this
happening are higher if the appliance can be moved.
So one has to PAT test fridge freezers, washing machines
etc. even though they are not "portable".
Of course items that are handheld,
such as drills, hair dryers etc. can suffer damage more
easily. For this reason they are maintained more frequently
than stationary items such as fridge freezers. |
