Why PAT Testing Matters

PAT testing (Portable Appliance Testing) is a process of visually inspecting and electrically testing portable plug-in appliances to ensure they are safe to use. It's the most practical way to meet your legal responsibilities under:

  • Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
  • Health & Safety at Work Act
  • Landlord & Tenant safety requirements

If you provide or use electrical appliances, you're responsible for making sure they are safe — and we're here to help.
