Portable appliance testing legislation, pat testing

It has been mentioned by numerous customers regarding the lack of information about the legal requirements for pat testing.

We hope to be able to shed light on the situation via our blog.

Whilst no legal statement exists making pat testing mandatory it does form part of a wider range of legal requirements. Further more in depth information is available on our website http://www.powersonic-online.co.uk

Also the issue of frequency of testing seems to be an issue which we will address in future blogs. The IET issue guidelines for this but usually the decision rests with the engineers who assess the environment with which the equipment is in use. It should also be noted the IET suggests maximum time periods between tests. We would encourage customers to be more pro active and maintain some form of annual test and inspections.

We are happy to advise on frequency of testing issues before we quote.

This is just a brief intro as to these two issues, watch out for further updates over the coming days. Should you like to make any comments for inclusion in our blog please email: service@powersonic-online.co.uk

Thanks
