Straight Answers.
No IT Jargon.
Clients and suppliers may require PAT testing when carrying out their due diligence and insurers may require regular PAT testing as part of their terms.
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing) is the process of inspecting and testing electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use. It includes visual checks, electrical testing, and clear labelling to show whether equipment has passed safety checks.
While PAT testing is not a specific legal requirement, UK electrical safety regulations require businesses to ensure electrical equipment is maintained safely. PAT testing is the most common and reliable way to demonstrate compliance.
Testing frequency depends on the environment and type of equipment. Offices may require testing every 12–24 months, while higher-risk environments may require more frequent checks.
Landlords are responsible for ensuring electrical appliances supplied with rental properties are safe. PAT testing helps confirm appliances meet safety standards and reduces liability.
Common appliances include computers, monitors, extension leads, kettles, printers, chargers, and office equipment.
Most appliances take just a few minutes to test, allowing us to complete testing efficiently with minimal disruption to your workplace.
