What Is PAT Testing?

PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) is the process of inspecting and testing portable electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use. This includes items such as computers, kettles, extension leads, power tools, and any electrical equipment that can be moved.

PAT Testing involves:

  • Visual inspection of appliances for damage or wear
  • Electrical testing using specialized PAT testing equipment
  • Classification of appliances by risk level
  • Issuing of PAT test certificates or labels
  • Recording of test results for compliance documentation

Why You Need PAT Testing in London

PAT Testing helps ensure workplace safety, protects employees and customers, and demonstrates compliance with health and safety obligations. Many insurance companies require regular PAT Testing, and landlords often need PAT certificates for furnished rental properties.

You should book PAT Testing if you:

  • Run a business or commercial premises in London
  • Are a landlord renting furnished properties
  • Need to comply with health and safety regulations
  • Want to ensure workplace safety for employees
  • Are required to provide PAT certificates by insurers
  • Manage public-facing premises where appliances are used
Important: While PAT Testing is not legally required in all circumstances, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires employers to ensure electrical equipment is maintained in a safe condition. Regular PAT Testing is the best way to demonstrate compliance.

How Often Is PAT Testing Required?

The frequency of PAT Testing depends on the type of appliance and the environment in which it's used. High-risk appliances in construction or industrial environments may need testing every 3 months, while office equipment may only need annual testing.

We provide guidance on recommended testing frequencies for your specific appliances and environment in London.
