Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)

Schools, Colleges and Universities

Make sure to read our Essential Guidance for Electrical Test and Inspection

Your responsibilities

The Electricity at Work Regulations place a legal responsibility on employers to take practical steps to ensure no danger results from the use of any electrical appliances. This requires a regular programme of maintenance, inspection and testing.

Insurance companies increasingly require portable appliance testing to be carried out before policy renewal.

The leading electrical associations all recommend that portable appliances are tested on an annual basis.

What is a Portable Appliance? - It is any moveable appliance which connects to the power supply by a plug and socket
