PAT testing FAQs
Is PAT testing a legal requirement?
There is no law that says appliances must be PAT tested at a set interval. But the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require employers to maintain electrical equipment in a safe condition, and PAT testing is the accepted way to show you have done so.
How often should appliances be tested?
It depends on the type of equipment and environment. The IET Code of Practice gives guidance: equipment on construction sites needs testing far more often than in a low-risk office. We will recommend a schedule for your premises.
What happens if an appliance fails?
We label it as failed, record the reason and advise you to take it out of use. Simple faults such as a fuse or plug can often be fixed on the day.
Can you test outside working hours?
Yes. We can test early, late or at weekends to avoid disrupting your staff, pupils or customers.
