Electrical Appliance Testing (PAT)
PAT Testing
Also known as, Portable Appliance Testing, is the process of examining electrical appliances to ensure they are safe for use.
we aim to mitigate the risk of electrical accidents and ensure compliance with the UK’s legal safety regulations for electrical equipment.
Portable Appliance Testing or PAT Testing is the process of checking electrical appliances for safety through a series of visual inspections and electronic tests.
The best way of ensuring that your appliances are safe is to have a PAT test carried out on them. This is a good way to ensure that they are meeting their legal obligations to maintain high standards of electrical safety in their rented property.
Testing Your Equipment
PAT tests are recommended for all businesses that use portable electrical equipment. This includes office-based businesses, landlords, hotels and restaurants, healthcare settings and construction and manufacturing. Self-employed people should also carry out PAT tests on their business equipment, even in the home.
The law does state that any electrical equipment in the workplace must be maintained to ensure it is safe and does not pose any danger, but it does not specify how the equipment should be maintained, how often, or who should carry out any maintenance.
PAT testing is recommended by experts and professionals as the best way to meet these health and safety obligations and to protect your employees.
