Why It Matters

Reduce Risks. Meet Standards. Stay Secure.

Portable appliances can deteriorate over time, leading to shocks, fire hazards, and equipment failure if left unchecked. PAT testing helps you identify faulty appliances early, reducing risks and helping maintain a safe environment for staff, customers, visitors, or household members.

It also supports legal and insurance requirements for businesses, landlords, and public spaces, ensuring your electrical equipment is compliant and trustworthy.

FAQ

Learn More About Fixed Wire Testing & Inspections

What is PAT testing and why is it necessary?

PAT testing is the inspection and testing of portable electrical appliances to ensure they’re safe to use. It helps identify electrical faults and reduces the risk of shock, fire, and equipment failure in workplaces, public areas, and homes.

How often should PAT testing be carried out?

Testing frequency depends on how often equipment is used and the environment it’s in. High-use commercial settings might need annual tests, while low-use or stable home appliances may require less frequent checks.

Is PAT testing a legal requirement for businesses?

While not always legally mandated, many workplaces and insurers require regular PAT testing as part of health and safety and risk management practices. It provides documented proof that equipment has been checked and deemed safe.

What happens if an appliance fails the test?

Any failures will be clearly explained and recorded in your report. We provide recommendations for repair or replacement and can advise on the safest, most cost-effective solution to bring you back into compliance.
