What Is Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)?

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is a visual and physical inspection of your electronic portable items. The examination of your electrical equipment will determine if they are safe for use in the work environment.

When carrying out this inspection, we can visually determine if there are any faults or defects. However, some faults can only be detected with an electronic test, this is something that we will also carry out to ensure that there are no hidden defects.

Why Do I Need To Annually PAT Test?

This test is necessary in order to keep your business compliant with the latest HSE and several other regulations. This test is also recommended to keep your business and employees safe.

As an employer, you are responsible for these tests and keeping your electronic appliances regularly maintained. For further information, please get in touch with our team.
