PAT Testing - How often
« 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

All my responses only apply to England and Wales and they are an overview of the subject, hopefully it will point you in the right direction and always treat with caution.

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