Vale of White Horse District Council

Electric blanket testing

Every year Oxfordshire’s five District Councils team up with Trading Standards and the Fire and Rescue Service to offer free electric blanket testing.

The aim of the testing is to take dangerous blankets out of circulation. In 2007, across the county 678 blankets were tested and 36 per cent were found to be unsafe and condemned.

Tests are taking place in 2008 on Friday 10 October and Friday 24 October 2008 in the Vale area. More details, including venues and how to book an appointment, will be placed on this page nearer the time.
