What is PAT Testing?
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is a systematic process used to inspect and test electrical equipment to confirm it's safe for use in the workplace. It typically includes:
- Visual inspections for obvious faults
- Electrical safety tests using calibrated equipment
- Asset tagging and compliance certification
While not legally mandated by name, PAT testing is recognised as a core method for satisfying requirements set out in the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and other key health & safety legislation. For commercial environments, PAT testing is a critical component of your statutory duty of care.

PAT Testing Benefits For Your Business
Failing to maintain safe electrical equipment can lead to:
- Operational Downtime: Equipment failure disrupts business continuity
- HSE Enforcement or Prosecution: Breaches can result in legal and financial penalties
- Insurance Non-Compliance: Invalidated cover due to neglected maintenance
- Reputational Risk: Unsafe environments damage brand trust and stakeholder confidence
PAT testing protects your workforce, visitors, and business assets while demonstrating proactive safety governance, a key metric in many ISO and CSR audits.
Who Should Use PAT Testing:
PAT testing is essential for:
- Office-based corporations: IT infrastructure, printers, telecoms
- Retail & hospitality chains: EPOS, kitchen, customer-facing appliances
- Construction and industrial businesses: Power tools, site lighting, machinery
- Logistics and warehousing: Portable scanning, conveyor equipment
- Multi-site facilities management: FM teams managing schools, healthcare, housing, etc.
- Landlords and property management firms: Tenancy-ready electrical compliance
If your business supplies, installs, or uses plug-in electrical equipment, you are responsible for ensuring it’s safe and maintained - particularly in shared or high-footfall environments.
