The frequency of PAT Testing inspection depends upon a number of factors, such as where and how the items is used, the method of construction and the equipment type.

DBA Testing follows the guidelines set out by the Health and Safety (HSE) and the IET (Institution of Engineering & Technology) and draws on its own extensive experience. In most environments this will mean an annual test for many portable appliances but certain appliances, such as an electrical drill used on an outdoor building site is more likely to become unsafe in use than a photocopier in an office environment and, therefore, will require testing more often than once a year. We will be pleased to advise on any specific circumstances.
