  • Reducing risks of fire, electric shock, and equipment failure
  • Keeping your staff, customers, and premises safe
  • Demonstrating compliance with The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
With over 20 years’ experience, our qualified engineers test thousands of appliances every year, giving businesses total peace of mind.

FAQs

We have gathered the commonly asked questions for your convenience.
What is PAT testing?
PAT testing (Portable Appliance Testing) is the process of inspecting and testing electrical appliances to make sure they are safe to use and don’t pose a risk of shock, fire or other hazards. It combines a visual check with electronic tests to catch faults before they cause harm.
Is PAT testing a legal requirement in the UK?
PAT testing itself is not specifically required by UK law, but the law does require electrical equipment to be maintained safely. Regular PAT testing is the most recognised way to prove you’re meeting your legal duty to protect people and premises.
What are the PAT testing requirements?
Your PAT testing requirements depend on the type of equipment and how and where it’s used — higher-risk environments often need more frequent checks. A risk-based approach helps you decide testing intervals and ensures you fulfil your obligation to keep equipment safe and documented.
Why should I care about PAT testing?
PAT testing reduces the chances of electrical faults causing accidents, fires or shocks and gives peace of mind that devices are safe for staff, tenants or visitors. Accurate records also help with compliance checks, insurance queries and legal duties.
Who should arrange PAT testing?
Businesses, landlords, employers and anyone responsible for electrical appliances should arrange PAT testing to ensure safety and compliance. A competent tester will carry out the checks so you don’t have to worry about missing hidden faults.
How often should PAT testing be done?
There’s no fixed legal interval for PAT testing, but regular checks based on a risk assessment are key — higher-risk or frequently used equipment will need testing more often than low-risk items. Keeping a schedule helps make sure testing is done consistently.
What does a PAT test certificate show?
A PAT test certificate documents which appliances were tested, the results and when testing was done, giving clear proof that checks have taken place. This is useful for audits, insurance records and showing due diligence.
Can I find PAT testing near me?
Yes — search for a professional PAT testing near me to book a qualified tester who can visit your premises, carry out checks and provide a PAT test certificate. Local providers can often schedule around your business hours to minimise disruption.
Can I do PAT testing myself?
You can inspect and test your own equipment if you’re competent and have the right tools and training, but many businesses choose to hire a professional service to ensure thorough testing and reliable certification. Documenting your competence and processes is key if you self-test.
What happens if an appliance fails its PAT test?
If an appliance fails its PAT test, it should be repaired or taken out of service until it’s safe to use, preventing potential electrical accidents. Addressing issues promptly keeps people safe and protects your compliance record.
