Assessing the frequency of PAT testing

The frequency of inspection & testing required will vary depending on the following.
• The environment – Equipment in a benign environment is likely to suffer less damage than equipment in an arduous environment.
• The users – If users report damage promptly hazards will be avoided. Conversely, if equipment is likely to receive unreported abuse, more frequent inspection & testing is required.
• The equipment construction – The safety of Class 1 equipment is dependent upon a connection with earth. Class 2 equipment is not dependent upon a fixed earth.
• The equipment type – Appliances that are hand-held are more likely to be damaged than fixed appliances.

The following table provides guidance on the initial frequencies of inspection & testing. However, the frequency must depend upon the factors listed above and should be kept under constant review.
