Portable Appliance Testing

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the process of checking electrical equipment to ensure it is safe, well maintained, and fit for continued use. Routine PAT testing helps reduce the risk of electrical faults and accidents, supports compliance with legal responsibilities, and promotes safe working and living environments in workplaces and rental properties.

Why is PAT Testing Important?

PAT testing plays a vital role in maintaining electrical safety and meeting your legal responsibilities.

  • Legal Compliance - Landlords and businesses have a duty to ensure electrical equipment is safe and properly maintained.

  • Improved Safety - Routine testing identifies faults early, helping to reduce the risk of electrical fires, shocks, and equipment failure.

  • Insurance Requirements - Many insurers require up-to-date PAT testing as part of their policy conditions.

  • Peace of Mind - Confidence that appliances used by tenants, staff, customers, or visitors are safe.
