Common-sense approach to portable appliance testing

摘要

New guidance on portable appliance testing (PAT) has been published, which reveals UK companies are wasting more than ￡30 million annually by over- maintaining electrical appliances. The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) has published the fourth edition of its 'Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment'. The guide suggests ￡120 million could be saved by businesses over the next four years if they adopt a common-sense approach to PAT.
