Why do i need EET testing?
Effective PAT (Portable Appliance Testing)—now officially referred to as EET (Electrical Equipment Testing)—is the process of checking electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use. It is a vital part of any health and safety policy to prevent fire and electrical shocks.
The industry has recently shifted from the term "PAT" to EET (Electrical Equipment Testing). Here is what has changed:
- Broadened Scope: While "PAT" focused on "portable" items, EET covers all electrical equipment, including fixed appliances like hand dryers or built-in ovens.
- Risk-Based Approach: The new focus is on how an item is used and its environment, rather than just testing everything once a year.
- Modern Standards: EET aligns with the latest 5th Edition of the IET Code of Practice, ensuring your business stays compliant with current UK law.
