Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing)

PAT Testing or Portable Appliance Testing is the name given for the process of routinely checking electrical items to make sure they are safe to use. This includes a formal visual inspection, fuse rating check, insulation resistance check, earth polarity check (where applicable) and to check the plug has been wired correctly. 

How often should PAT testing be carried out? 

Frequency of testing depends on the type of equipment and the environment in which it is used. For example, a school would require PAT testing more often than an office, as its classified higher risk. The frequencies we recommend are based on the guidelines by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) Institution and our own experience. 

The Health & Safety at Work Act (1974) places an obligation in the following circumstances: 

 

  • Where appliances are used by employees.
  • Where the public may use appliances in establishments such as hotels, hospitals, schools, shops etc.
  • Where appliances are supplied or hired.
  • Where appliances are repaired or serviced

Do insurance companies mandate PAT Testing?


Employers have a duty of care with respect to your insurers & the risks they take in underwriting your business. Many Businesses are unaware of the Insurance implications of not having an up-to-date Portable Appliance Testing program in place. Failure to carry out the necessary tests may result in your insurance company refusing to pay out in the unfortunate circumstances of an accident or a fire.
