As one of the foremost PAT
testing companies in the UK, at Hawkesworth Appliance Testing we always keep
right up to date with the very latest rules and regulations. At present we
adhere to the Institute of Engineering and Technology Code of Practice 4th
edition, which is the current edition, but the IET is bringing out a 5th
edition which is due for release in 2020 and we will be adopting those
standards immediately upon release.
When we carry out PAT testing, we
only use the very best PAT testing equipment which is that made by Seaward.
These will detect potential safety problems with any item of electrical
equipment before they actually occur, so if your equipment passes the test you
will know that it is safe to use.
It is astounding just how many
faulty pieces of electrical equipment are to be found in UK homes and
businesses. For example, Whirlpool, who make tumble dryers, have started to
recall faulty units which are at risk of catching fire. They began the recall
on July 22nd and by mid-September had located 65,000 of the faulty machines.
However, the company’s directors say that there could be as many as 800,000
faulty machines in total. These dryers are sold under the Credo, Swan,
Hotpoint, Proline, and Indesit brands and the problem is that they let excess
fluff gather on the machine’s heating elements which can cause a fire.
