Forthcoming PAT testing sessions on Campus East
Posted on 4 October 2017
In line with the University's policy on PAT (portable appliance testing) testing, please attend one of the following sessions if you're resident on Campus East:
- Monday 9 October - Constantine College
- Tuesday 10 October - Langwith College
- Thursday 12 October - Goodricke College
All sessions will be held in the College Common Rooms between 8.30am and 4.30pm. If you cannot attend your own college session then please attend any of the other ones. This is a free service to all students who are living on campus.
Sessions on Campus West will follow later this month.
What to bring?
All electrical equipment with a three pin plug attached or plugs into a three pin adaptor (for example a shaver or toothbrush), the power cable from a PC, a laptop charger unit or anything else with a fixed cable and plug should be brought to be tested.
If you have brought any kitchen equipment with you then these must be PAT tested for safety and should not be used in your room. The electrical wiring in your room is only rated for computers and chargers and not for high current items like kettles, toasters, microwaves or rice cookers. This can cause the electrical circuits to shut off.
What happens if I don't attend?
Safe appliances will receive a small green sticker. You may be asked to remove and no longer use any electrical item that does not have one.
