Portable Appliance Testing, or PAT Testing, involves checking electrical appliances for safety through visual inspections and electronic tests.

The best way to ensure your appliances are safe is to carry out a PAT test. This is a good way for Residential and commercial landlords to ensure they meet their legal obligations to maintain high electrical safety standards in their rented property.

To establish the safety and suitability of your electrical appliances, the competent person will visually inspect the appliance, its plug and lead. For Class I equipment, they will also inject test signals into the cable and appliance to ensure their integrity.
