PAT – Portable Appliance Testing
We use a range of methods and testing equipment to verify the safety of electrical appliances in homes, public buildings and commercial premises.
How can we help?
PAT Testing for Rental Homes and Businesses
Testing electrical appliances regularly is a safety issue that is governed by an Institute of Electrical Engineers Code of Practice. If you own a business or rental property that includes portable appliances, you need to check each appliance for errors and faults at least once a year.
The appliances subject to electrical testing include:
- Kettles
- Toasters
- Audio equipment
- Microwaves
- Fixed and stationery appliances
- IT hardware
- Cables and chargers
- Handheld electrical devices
Standard PAT tests usually begin with a visual inspection of the appliance. Any broken cables or casing will usually result in a failure. A specialised PAT testing machine is then used to check for earth continuity, insulation resistance and lead polarity.
If the appliance passes the test, PAT testing certificates are issued in the form of stickers; red for a fail and green for a pass.
If you own a business, you have a legal obligation to ensure all electrical equipment within it is safe to use. That responsibility applies to colleagues, staff members and members of the general public.
