Portable appliance
testing (PAT)
Inspection and testing for portable electrical appliances, tools, leads and workplace equipment.
A practical testing service for workplace equipment
PAT testing combines visual inspection with the electrical tests appropriate to the equipment. The testing interval and scope should reflect how each item is used and the conditions it works in.
Send the approximate number and type of items, your location and preferred timing. We’ll confirm the testing scope before the visit.
Equipment can include
- Portable tools and electrical appliances
- Extension leads and power leads
- Workshop and office equipment
- Equipment exposed to regular movement or demanding conditions
What you receive: A pass or fail label on each item and a register of everything tested.
