Title: PAT Testing - How often
Post by: messy on September 19, 2006, 11:43:14 AM

Please can somebody help me with a definitive answer to the frequency of PAT testing.

I understand that it varies as to what quipment is involved and the enviroment it's used (outdoor use and say, laboratories will need more frequent tests)

I have tried to look it up online but get conflicting info seemingly from less than independant sales persons/electricians

Thanks for that. It pointed me to the HSE free downloads which were exactly what I needed
