How Often Should PAT Testing Be Done?
FAQ: How often should portable appliances be tested in Ireland?

| Appliance Type | Environment | Recommended Testing Interval |
|---|---|---|
| Office equipment (low risk) | Office spaces | Every 2–4 years |
| Kitchen appliances | Staff rooms/canteens | Every 1–2 years |
| Power tools | Workshops/construction sites | Every 3–6 months |
