Question:
Do I need to PAT test a laptop PC?
Answer:
The laptop PC itself doesn’t need to be PAT tested, an inspection for damage is however recommended.
This is because a laptop is operating under 120V DC, usually around 20V DC, which makes it a Class 3 appliance requiring a visual inspection only.
The laptop charger would however need to be PAT tested because it is 230V, so an operative would test from the 230V plug to the charger. Beyond the charger would be around 20V DC so that would require a visual inspection only.
