PAT Testing User Checks Series: Plug (4 of 9)

Appliance plug must have it's 'flexible cable secure in it's anchorage.'**.

Looking at the inside of this plug, you'll see the flex is firmly in place and secured by it's grip. It should not be possible to pull and push the flex's outer sheath from the plug itself. If any of the three inner cables are visible when the plug is closed, it will instantly fail a PAT test.
