Understanding the importance of electrical safety testing
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is a systematic process of inspecting electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use. It involves both visual inspections and electrical testing to identify potential hazards.
PAT testing helps businesses comply with health and safety regulations, including the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the IET's 5th Code of Practice.
Professional testing with proven results
Regular PAT testing can reduce the risk of electrical fires by up to 80%.
Avoid potential HSE fines of up to £5,000 for non-compliance with PAT testing regulations.
Fast, efficient testing with detailed reports delivered within 24 hours.
Understanding your obligations as a business
The HSE requires businesses to ensure electrical appliances are safe for use. This responsibility is outlined in the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
The Institution of Engineering and Technology's 5th Code of Practice provides guidelines for in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment.
While there's no set schedule, best practice recommends electrical inspections at least once every 12 months as part of your maintenance routine.

Our expert engineers conduct a thorough visual check of each appliance, examining cables, plugs, and casings for any visible damage or wear.
