What Is PAT Testing?

PAT testing involves the inspection and electrical testing of portable appliances to ensure they are safe to use. This includes anything that plugs into a socket, from office equipment to power tools and kitchen appliances.

A full PAT test typically includes:
  • Visual inspection – checking cables, plugs and casings for damage or wear
  • Earth continuity testing – verifying effective earthing protection
  • Insulation resistance testing – ensuring electrical insulation integrity
  • Functional checks – confirming safe and correct operation
  • Labelling & reporting – tagging tested items and providing a digital asset register
  • Certification – supplying documentation for your compliance records


PAT testing helps prevent electrical accidents, reduces downtime and ensures your business meets its legal obligations.

PAT testing is recommended for:

  • - Offices and commercial premises
    - Retail units and hospitality venues
    - Schools, colleges and nurseries
  • - Workshops, warehouses and industrial sites
    - Landlords and HMOs
