PAT Testing stands for Portable Appliance Testing, which involves checking electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use. It’s necessary to prevent potential hazards like electrical shocks, fires, or damage to property.
PAT Testing itself is not a direct legal requirement, but UK laws like The Health and Safety at Work Act and The Electricity at Work Regulations require employers and landlords to ensure their appliances are safe to use, and PAT testing helps demonstrate compliance.
Any appliance that is portable, meaning it can be plugged in and disconnected easily from the mains, should be PAT tested. This includes items like kettles, computers, microwaves, and extension leads.
The frequency of PAT testing varies based on the environment and type of equipment. For example, appliances in a construction site may need testing every 3 months, while office equipment may be tested every 1-2 years. High-risk environments often require more frequent checks.
PAT Testing should be carried out by a competent person with adequate knowledge and training. While it's not necessary for the person to be a fully qualified electrician, they must understand the risks and safety aspects of electrical appliances. At Certified Electricians, our team of trained professionals is fully equipped to provide PAT Testing services. For more information or to book a service, give us a call on 0203 667 7195.
The cost of PAT Testing depends on the number of appliances being tested and the location. For accurate and up-to-date pricing information, please visit our Pricing Page, which covers all our services, including PAT Testing.
