Portable appliance test (PAT)
The Portable Appliance Test is a set of tests that must be administered to electrical equipment in
the UK and some locations in Europe to ensure safety.The tests are typically carried out using a
small PAT device. The PAT device connects to a power source and then attaches to the product
via an electrical outlet and test probes. The PAT provides a simple pass or fail result, allowing rapid
testing of large inventories.

authority has guidelines on the testing frequency.
