Electrical Portable Appliance Test (PAT)

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)

Portable Appliance Testing or PAT Testing is the process of checking electrical appliances for safety through a series of visual inspections and electronic tests.


The best way of ensuring that your appliances are safe is to have a PAT test carried out on them. This is a good way for landlords to ensure that they are meeting their legal obligations to maintain high standards of electrical safety in their rented property.

What to expect from Portable Appliance Testing?

To establish the safety and suitability of your electrical appliances, our Electrician will carry out a visual inspection of the appliance, its plug and lead. In the case of Class 1 equipment (equipment relying on the presence of an effective protective (earth) conductor for reasons of safety) they will also inject test signals into the cable and appliance to ensure their integrity.

What will I receive?

Upon completion of the portable appliance inspection and testing, you should receive a report that details the following as a minimum:

  • An inventory containing each appliance type, name, location and description
  • A full set of test results for each appliance tested
  • A full list of any failed items with an explanation of their failure
  • A visible pass or fail label on each appliance detailing the inspection date, next test due and the inspector’s signature.
