PAT Testing
Professional PAT Testing Services
PAT testing and electrical equipment testing for businesses, landlords and public sector organisations across the UK.
Electrical Testing UK carries out portable appliance testing, now more accurately referred to as Electrical Equipment Testing (EET), for businesses, landlords and public sector organisations. Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, employers have a legal duty to ensure electrical equipment that could cause injury is maintained in a safe condition. PAT testing is the primary means of demonstrating that duty is being met for portable and transportable electrical equipment. Our qualified engineers test all classes of electrical equipment efficiently, with minimal disruption to your operations, and provide a full asset register with pass or fail status for every item tested.
Key Features Include
All Equipment Classes Tested
We test Class I, Class II and Class III portable and transportable equipment across all types of workplace and rental property.
Full Asset Register Provided
Every testing programme produces a complete asset register recording every item tested, the test results and pass or fail status, suitable for your compliance and insurance records.
Minimal Operational Disruption
We work efficiently around your operational requirements, testing equipment in situ where possible and scheduling visits to keep disruption to staff and operations to a minimum.
Scheduled Testing Programmes
We offer planned testing programmes at the intervals appropriate for your equipment types and environment, ensuring your PAT compliance is maintained without the need to track and book individual visits.
Remedial Advice and Reporting
Where items fail testing, we provide clear advice on whether repair or replacement is required and flag any items that present an immediate safety risk for urgent action.
PAT Testing and Electrical Equipment Testing for Every Type of Organisation
PAT Testing for Offices and Commercial Premises Office environments contain large volumes of IT equipment, appliances and portable items requiring periodic testing. We carry out office PAT testing efficiently around your staff and operations, providing a complete asset register on completion.
PAT Testing for Industrial and Manufacturing Sites Industrial equipment is subject to greater risk and requires shorter testing intervals than office equipment. We apply the correct testing regime for each equipment class and environment, flagging any items requiring immediate withdrawal from service.
PAT Testing for Schools, Colleges and Educational Buildings We carry out PAT testing for schools, academies and further education colleges, scheduling visits during holiday periods where possible to minimise disruption to teaching.
PAT Testing for Healthcare and Care Settings We carry out PAT testing for NHS premises, care homes and supported living facilities, applying the appropriate testing regime for patient area equipment and providing documentation for CQC inspections and NHS compliance audits.
PAT Testing for Landlords and Rental Properties Landlords must ensure appliances provided in furnished tenancies are safe. We carry out PAT testing across single properties and large portfolios, providing pass or fail certificates and compliance documentation for every item tested.
PAT Testing for Public Sector and Local Authority Organisations We manage PAT testing programmes for councils, housing associations and public sector organisations across single sites and large estates, with a single point of contact and consolidated reporting throughout.
What We Test and How We Report
What PAT Testing Involves PAT testing combines a visual inspection of the appliance, cable and plug with electrical tests measuring earth continuity, insulation resistance and substitute leakage current. Both elements are essential, some faults are visible, others only identified through electrical measurement.
Is Annual PAT Testing a Legal Requirement? Annual testing is not a specific legal requirement. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require equipment to be maintained safely but do not specify testing frequency. The appropriate interval depends on equipment type and environment. We advise on the correct frequency for your specific situation as part of every programme.
How Test Results Are Recorded and Reported On completion we provide a full asset register recording every item tested, inspection findings, test results and pass or fail status. Failed items are clearly identified with the reason for failure, in a format suitable for health and safety records, insurance and multi-site compliance management.
Why Businesses and Landlords Choose Electrical Testing UK for PAT Testing
Qualified engineers, not unqualified testers PAT testing should be carried out by a competent person with sufficient knowledge to identify electrical hazards and interpret test results correctly. All our PAT testing is carried out by qualified engineers, not minimum-wage operatives with a PAT tester and a label gun.
Honest advice on testing frequency We advise on the testing interval that is actually appropriate for your equipment and environment, not the shortest interval that maximises the number of visits. Annual testing is not always necessary and we will tell you so if it is not.
Efficient programmes that minimise disruption We plan every PAT testing visit to minimise disruption to your operations, testing equipment in situ where possible and coordinating with your team to avoid peak operational periods.
Full documentation for compliance and insurance Every testing programme produces a complete asset register in a format accepted by insurers and suitable for health and safety audits. For multi-site clients, consolidated records are provided across the full estate.
Part of a wider electrical compliance service As a full-service electrical contractor, we combine PAT testing with EICRs, emergency lighting testing, fire alarm servicing and other compliance services under a single contract, reducing the number of contractors you need to manage.
