What is Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)?
A Portable Appliance Test (PAT) is a process designed to ensure the safety of electrical appliances. In the UK, PAT testing is mandatory for any business utilizing electrical equipment.
The testing involves the use of specialized equipment to assess the electrical safety of each appliance. Those that pass receive a label or certificate indicating they are safe for use.
PAT testing is a crucial aspect of any business’s health and safety protocols. By ensuring that all electrical equipment is safe, businesses can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.

What Is PAT Testing?
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the combination of visual inspection and electronic testing of electrical appliances to confirm they are safe to use.
While PAT testing itself is not explicitly named in law, it is the recognised way to comply with:
- The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 – all electrical systems must be safe
- Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 – duty to protect employees and others
If an accident happens and you cannot prove regular checks, you are legally exposed.
