What is PAT Testing?

 

PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) testing is the examination of electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use.
PAT Testing is a best practice to help ensure The Electricity at Work Regulations are met, specifically Regulation 4(2) that states:
“As may be necessary to prevent danger, all systems shall be maintained so as to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, such danger.“

Let’s Work Together

Day-to-day use of portable electrical appliances inevitably causes wear and damage to leads, plugs, and to the item itself. If undetected and unresolved, this may, in turn, result in an electric shock or fire. Employers, Institutions, and Landlords, therefore, have a statutory responsibility to ensure that all electrical appliances used by employees, guests, and tenants, are safe.

 

Let’s Work Together

The frequency of which you should be inspecting and testing electrical appliances depends on the type of equipment and the environment that the equipment is used.
We will work with you to help you assess a suitable testing frequency of each item.
