In-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment, commonly known as ‘Portable Appliance Testing’, is a vital part of making sure that the various types of electrical equipment within a work environment are maintained in a safe condition. Many questions are put to the IET on this subject so this article looks at discussing some of these, including legislation related to in-service inspection and testing, training required to carry out formal inspection and testing, test equipment and implementation of an inspection and testing programme.
