Keeping Workplaces Safe with PAT Testing & Training

Portable appliance testing (PAT) ensures electrical equipment is safe to use. Our qualified engineers can perform these tasks through visual inspections and manual inspections using a PAT tester. We also offer training for in-house staff to ensure your equipment is kept compliant. 

What is PAT Testing

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is a formal inspection process designed to verify the safety of electrical equipment. It involves:

  •  Visual inspections for damage, wear, or misuse
  • Electrical tests using calibrated PAT testers to check for insulation resistance, earth continuity, and leakage current
  • Labelling and documentation of test results for compliance audits
