What this sheet is for
Keep every tested appliance and its paperwork in one findable list, so an asset number on a label can be traced back to who tested it and when.
Who it is for
Small employers, landlords, halls, clubs, workshops and offices who have portable electrical equipment tested.
How to use it
- Give every appliance an asset number and write it on the item as well as here.
- Fill in the appliance, where it lives and the class or type as the tester notes it.
- Copy the test date and the result exactly as recorded by whoever tested it.
- Note whether a label was applied, and by whom the test was done.
- Copy across the next date the tester gave under their own scheme.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: A register of portable appliances that have been tested — what the item is, where it lives, its asset number, and what the tester recorded against it.
The tester's entries, not ours. The test date, the result and the next date are all the tester's own entries, written under whatever scheme they work to. Nothing on this sheet suggests how often testing happens or what a result ought to be — it is a register of what was recorded, kept in one place so it can be found again.

Questions
Why does the sheet not say how often appliances are tested?
Because that is decided by the person doing the testing, under whatever scheme they work to, and by the rules where you are. The column exists for the date they give you — it is their figure, not ours.
How is this different from the portable appliance inspection record?
That one is for the visual inspection anybody can do by looking at a plug and a lead. This is the register of formal tests: who tested, what they recorded and what date they put on the label.
