What Is Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)?

PAT Testing ensures your electrical appliances are safe to use. It helps prevent electric shocks, fires, and property damage caused by faulty or damaged equipment. It also ensures compliance with:

  • Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
  • Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
  • Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998

In most cases, insurance companies require valid PAT certificates to maintain coverage in the event of electrical fire or injury claims.

What Counts as a Portable Appliance?

Any plug-in or portable electrical item should be PAT tested. This includes:

  • Kettles and Microwaves
  • Extension Leads
  • Computers and Monitors
  • Phone Chargers
  • Fans and Vacuum Cleaners
  • Power Tools and Audio Equipment

PAT testing applies to both domestic and commercial environments from office equipment to appliances supplied in rental properties.
