Q.   What needs testing?  

         A.   Any appliance which has got a plug on it.
       
    
Q.   How often does it need testing?

       A.   That depends on the type of premises it is being used on
            and the type of electrical equipment.  Some items require
            testing more than every 3 months, others items require
            no formal testing at all.  I would recommend that domestic 
            appliances are tested every few years, more frequently
            if they are in heavy use or are suspect in any way.
    
    
Q.   How important is testing?

        A.   Over 90% of equipment faults are found by a
            good visual inspection of the equipment, its lead and
            the plug.  BUT - this inspection should ideally be carried 
            out by a competent and qualified person.  The PAT tester gives 
            advance warning of failing insulation, bad earth, incorrect 
            polarity of extension leads, as well as a proper inspection 
            of the plug to ensure it is safe to use and has the correct 
            fuse.  PAT testing is especially important if the appliance is 
            second-hand.  Please take a moment to have a look at some 
            horrors I have found.
