PAT testing kit

We keep a PAT testing kit in the office to make it easy to test equipment.

PAT testing must be conducted by a competent and trained person. See our PAT testing page for more details on procedure. The PAT test kit alone is not sufficient to competently pass or fail equipment.

Contents

The kit should contain:

  • A Seaward PrimeTest 50 PAT tester
  • The continuity probe/clamp for the above
  • A short 13A plug to C14 cable
  • A roll of “PASS” stickers
  • A roll of “FAIL” stickers
  • A pen
  • A flat-headed (SL5) screwdriver
  • A Pozidriv (PZ2) screwdriver

Servicing and calibration

The PAT tester should be calibrated annually to ensure it is still within tolerance.
