What is a Portable Appliance? The general census is that a portable appliance is a piece of electrical equipment which has a lead, a plug and requires an electric mains socket for it to work. But it can mean anything from a kettle to a 415v industrial machine. By law, any appliance that plugs into a electricity supply must be tested for their operational safety and to ensure the safety of the people who use them.
Common examples of portable appliances include:
IT Equipment : PCs, printers;
Kitchen Appliances : toasters, microwave ovens, kettles;
Office Appliances: photocopiers, fax machines;
Desktop Equipment: fans, lamps
Workshop Equipment: drills, angle grinders, circular saws.
