PAT Testing Services in London
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) ensures your electrical equipment is safe to use. While not a strict legal requirement, the Health and Safety at Work Act and Electricity at Work Regulations place a duty on employers and landlords to ensure electrical equipment is safe. Regular PAT testing demonstrates due diligence.

Who Needs PAT Testing?
Offices & Businesses
Employers have a legal duty to maintain electrical equipment. PAT testing covers computers, monitors, kettles, microwaves, phone chargers, desk lamps, and any other portable electrical equipment used by staff.
Landlords
Landlords who provide electrical appliances in rental properties should have them PAT tested regularly. This is often a requirement of landlord insurance policies and demonstrates compliance with safety obligations.
Construction Sites
The harsh conditions on construction sites mean portable tools and equipment deteriorate faster. Regular PAT testing is essential for compliance and safety on site.
What Does PAT Testing Include?
Each appliance receives a visual inspection checking for damage to the plug, cable, and casing, followed by electrical tests including earth continuity, insulation resistance, and where applicable, earth leakage and load tests. Pass/fail labels are applied to every item, and you receive a detailed register listing every appliance tested with its results.
