Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) – Up to 10 Electrical Items
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and Housing Act 2004, landlords and employers are legally responsible for ensuring that all electrical appliances supplied to tenants and staff are safe to use. Our certified PAT testing engineers perform thorough electrical safety testing on up to 10 portable and movable electrical appliances (e.g. fridges, washing machines, kettles, toasters, microwaves, heaters, and vacuum cleaners).
What Does PAT Testing Include?
- Visual Inspection: Checking plugs, cords, casing damage, correct fuse ratings, and wiring terminals.
- Earth Continuity Test (Class I): Measuring the resistance of the protective earth wire to ensure immediate trip on fault.
- Insulation Resistance Testing: High-voltage testing to confirm the internal electrical insulation is intact.
- Touch Current & Earth Leakage Tests: Ensuring no stray electric currents reach accessible metal surfaces.
- Individual Asset Barcode Stickers: High-durability ‘PASSED’ labels affixed with test dates and engineer ID.
- Full Digital PAT Certificate & Asset Register: Complete itemised PDF report for council licensing and insurance files.
