Frequently Asked Questions
What is PAT testing?
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the process of checking electrical appliances for safety. It involves a visual inspection and electronic testing to identify faults that could cause electric shock or fire.
Is PAT testing a legal requirement?
While not strictly mandated by a single law, landlords and employers have a duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work Act. Failure to maintain safe appliances can result in liability if an accident occurs.
What appliances need to be tested?
Any portable appliance with a plug — kettles, toasters, lamps, TVs, computers, white goods, extension leads, and more. Fixed appliances like cookers are tested differently.
How often should PAT testing be done?
For rental properties, annually is recommended. For offices and commercial premises, typically every 1–2 years depending on the type of equipment and environment.
Do we get a certificate?
Yes. Each tested appliance receives a pass/fail label, and you receive a full written report listing all tested items, results, and any recommended actions.
