PAT testing is the inspection and testing of portable electrical appliances to help check whether they are safe to use.

Businesses need to keep electrical equipment safe. PAT testing is a common way to manage appliance safety and keep records.

Landlords should make sure supplied electrical appliances are safe. PAT testing can help provide evidence that appliances have been checked.

How often it is needed depends on the appliance type, how often it is used and the environment it is used in.

Common items include kettles, microwaves, computers, monitors, printers, extension leads, chargers, power tools and portable equipment.
