In November 2012 the IET launched
Edition 4 of the “Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of
Electrical Equipment”. This introduced a number of significant changes to the
recommendations on how Portable Appliance Testing is carried out.
The scope of this handbook has always
been wider than the IET Code of Practice. However to keep our readers up to
date with current industry thinking, we have decided to produce this insert to
highlight these new recommendations.
