PAT Testing, or Portable Appliance Testing, is a process that involves the examination of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use. The purpose of PAT Testing is to identify any potential electrical hazards before they can cause harm.

In the UK, it’s not mandatory to conduct Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) on all appliances. However, employers are legally obligated to ensure electrical equipment is safe and maintained properly, under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. While PAT testing is one way to ensure electrical safety, other methods are also effective.

PAT Testing is applicable to all portable electrical appliances, including office equipment, power tools, kitchen appliances, and more.

The duration depends on the number and complexity of appliances. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption, ensuring a swift yet thorough testing process.

Fixed Wire Testing is crucial for identifying potential electrical hazards, ensuring the safety and compliance of your property’s wiring systems.

We adhere strictly to the guidelines set by the IET Code of Practice for all our PAT procedures. Our technicians undergo comprehensive training to ensure accurate and reliable assessments of all client-provided items and equipment.

To streamline the testing process, we request floor plans and fire risk assessments to be made available to our technicians upon their arrival. A competent or responsible individual appointed by the client must also be present at the beginning and end of the testing to address any safety concerns or hazards identified during testing.
