Description
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is a safety testing process that ensures the electrical safety of various portable or portable electrical appliances. Through this, the functionality and safety of the electrical system, wiring condition, plugs, sockets, and other parts of the appliance are verified. By conducting PAT testing regularly, the chances of electrical accidents such as shock, short circuit, or fire can be greatly reduced. It is very important in offices, homes, factories, schools, and various institutions because portable appliances such as laptop chargers, coffee machines, fans, projectors, etc., are in daily use.
PAT testing is usually conducted by specially trained electricians or PAT testers, who follow specific standards and regulations. Various institutions and organizations around the world, including Bangladesh, have made this test mandatory for the protection of their employees and users. Portable appliance testing ensures that the appliances can be used safely and the risk of any kind of electrical hazard is reduced.
