Items such as electric drills, monitors, PCs, 
and kettles are all suitable for PAT testing.
You should be aware that electrical appliances 
fall under categories I, II or III. 
Those in category 1 are rated as being the most dangerous, 
with those in category 3 being the least. 
The rating of the item will have a direct bearing 
on the need for PAT testing. 
You must ensure that all items in category 1 are PAT tested. 
in category 2 will only require an insulation test. 
However, testing won’t be necessary for items in category 3.
