What is it?

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing as it’s commonly known as) is an examination on appliances and equipment to check that they are safe to use. This is done both by a visual check and the use of electronically Testing equipment. It is important to do both kinds of checks as some defects will not be found by the testing alone, for example bare wires on a plug.

Why do you need to do it?

There isn’t a law stating that you legally have to complete any PAT Testing on your equipment and appliances. However, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require that all equipment or appliances used are maintained in a safe condition. By having them recorded on a PAT Testing register and equipment labelled it makes the management of monitoring easier to maintain along with proof that some regime exists.
