What is the Importance of PAT Testing?

Electricity is a major cause of accidental fires in the UK, with over 20,000 fires occurring each year. Nine out of 10 (90%) electrical fires are caused by electrical products. In the worst-case scenarios, people have lost their lives, whilst others are left seriously injured. Many of these electrical fires could have been avoided if people had conducted the relevant safety practices and procedures beforehand. There has been a deterioration of safety practises over time. A higher priority must be placed on PAT testing regulations so that we can ensure the safety of everyone on your property and guarantee that you are not liable for any electrical damage. In the UK, the process of PAT testing is incredibly important because of the influx of cheap appliances imported from all over the world. Many of these devices have been found to be lacking in quality and should be tested before use. PAT testing is essential to ensure the safety of any electrical equipment and to ensure that these safety standards are being maintained.
