What is Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)?

The testing and inspection of electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use and comply with Health and Safety legislation is commonly referred to as PAT Testing.

Each year many people are killed and injured in accidents and fires involving electricity. All businesses regardless of size are therefore legally bound to ensure that appliances are safe to use and fit for their intended purpose. Periodic test and inspection is vital to protect your business and its employees.
