What Is Portable Appliance Testing and Why It’s Essential
Portable appliance testing checks portable electrical items—like computers, kettles, and tools—for faults such as frayed wires or loose plugs. It’s often a legal requirement under the Electricity at Work Regulations (1989).
Why it matters:
Prevents electrical accidents
Early detection of faults helps protect users from shocks, burns, or worse.
Reduces fire risk
Faulty appliances are a leading cause of workplace and rental property fires.
Keeps your insurance valid
Many policies require proof of regular PAT testing to cover electrical claims.
Helps you meet Health & Safety regulations
PAT testing proves due diligence, helping you stay compliant with UK law.
What’s Included in Your PAT Test
Wondering what you’re actually paying for? Here’s what every PAT test from us includes—no cut corners, no hidden extras—just a thorough routine inspection you can count on.
- Visual inspection for damage or wear
We check for obvious signs of risk—like exposed wires, cracked casings, or loose plugs—before testing even begins. - Earth continuity and insulation resistance tests
Using specialist equipment, we verify that electrical currents are safely grounded and insulated to prevent shocks or faults. - Plug, cable & fuse checks
We open and inspect plugs, confirm correct fuse ratings, and ensure power cables are in good condition. - Pass/fail labels with asset ID
Each appliance gets a clear sticker showing its status, test date, and a unique ID for easy tracking. - Digital test report + compliance certificate
You’ll receive a full PDF report and PAT certificate—great for health & safety records, audits, and insurance. - Plus, our pat inspection service ensures every appliance is checked thoroughly by a qualified professional.

If you’re an employer, landlord, or responsible for public spaces, you’re on the hook for electrical safety.

Every 12–24 months
- Construction sites
Every 3 months
