What does a PAT test consist of?

We start with a visual inspection checking for:

  • Damaged flexes 

  • Damaged plugs and equipment (overheating, burn marks, discolouration) 

  • Correctly wired plugs 

  • Correctly rated fuse

Then a series of tests (depending on the class of equipment), they may include:

  • Earth continuity testing

  • Insulation resistance

  • Polarity test

  • Earth leakage test

The Engineer checks for signs of damage to the appliance and its supply cord (IEC Lead) and then tests the functionality of any switches before checking that the fuse within the plug top is correctly rated for the safe disconnection of the appliance.

After this process, the appliance is energised by a test machine which uses a sequence of checks to establish the integrity of the live, neutral and earth wires. The machine, depending on its findings, will establish a “pass” or “fail” status for the appliance, and the Engineer will label the equipment accordingly.
