What is Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing) is a vital process that ensures electrical appliances are safe to use and comply with health and safety regulations. It involves a series of visual inspections and electrical tests to identify potential hazards such as faulty wiring, damaged plugs, or inadequate insulation. This makes it an essential practice for businesses, landlords, and organizations committed to safety. Each test evaluates three critical aspects of electrical equipment:
- Insulation Resistance
- Earth Continuity
- Polarity
Legal Requirements - Electrical Compliance & Certification
Under UK law, employers, landlords, and business owners are responsible for ensuring all electrical equipment is safe to use. Anyone with a non-domestic property is legally obligated to comply with several regulations set by the Health and Safety Executive. These regulations include:
How Often Do I Need PAT Testing?
High-risk environments (e.g., construction sites): Every 6 months.
Office equipment: Every 2-4 years for stationary items; annually for portable devices.
Rental properties: Before new tenants move in and periodically as required.
Schools and public spaces: Typically annually or as indicated by a risk assessment.
Risk-based approach: Frequency depends on equipment type, usage, and operating conditions.

Our Process
UKSM guarantees comprehensive PAT Testing for all our clients. Starting with initial visual inspections and extending to functionality assessments, each test includes:
Visual Inspection
Each PAT Test starts with a visual inspection to check electrical appliances for visible damage, wear, or defects. This crucial step helps identify potential hazards before further electrical testing.
Functional Testing
Each appliance is assessed within its normal operating context to ensure optimal performance. Our electrical engineers ensure your equipment functions safely, minimizing potential risks of electrical accidents.
Insulation Resistance Testing
Finally, we test each appliance’s insulation resistance to ensure safe and efficient operation. After testing, UKSM provides complete electrical services and certification.
Cost
PAT Testing costs vary based on factors like the number of appliances and location. Prices often start from £1.50 to £5.00 per item tested. Discounts are available for bulk testing. Additional costs may apply for urgent services or specialized testing.
Spotting Counterfeit Goods with PAT Testing
In some cases, counterfeit electronic appliances can significantly diminish health and safety. Identifying authentic products is crucial—a task made simpler with reliable PAT Testing equipment.
