The Basics

What is PAT Electrical Testing and Why Do You Need It?

Understanding Requirements

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the process of examining electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use. While not a standalone law, UK Health and Safety regulations require that all electrical equipment that has the potential to cause injury is maintained in a safe condition.

Protecting Business & Employees

For business owners, regular PAT testing is vital for demonstrating "due diligence" in your health and safety obligations. It protects your employees from shocks and fires, and protects your business from liability claims.

Visual Inspection vs. Full Testing

90% of faults are found during a visual inspection, but full electrical testing is required to identify internal insulation breakdown or faulty earth connections that can't be seen with the naked eye.

Compliance & Safety

Why PAT Testing London Matters for Your Property

Ensuring your portable appliances are tested isn't just about ticking a box—it's about comprehensive protection.

Tenant Safety

Gives your tenants peace of mind that the appliances you provide—from kettles to washing machines—are safe for daily use.

Legal Compliance

Meet your obligations under the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994 and the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985.
