PAT Testing
Professional PAT Testing Services
Electrical Testing UK provides portable appliance testing, also known as Electrical Equipment Testing (EET). We work with businesses and public sector organisations.
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, employers must keep any electrical equipment that could cause injury in a safe condition. Therefore PAT testing is the recognised way to demonstrate compliance for portable and transportable equipment.
Our qualified engineers test all classes of equipment with minimal disruption. Moreover, we record every item in a clear asset register, including its pass or fail status.

PAT Testing for All Sectors
We tailor PAT testing to the risks, equipment types and operational needs of each setting. As a result, you get minimal disruption and clear reporting.
- Offices and commercial premises: We test efficiently around your staff. In addition, we provide full asset registers for IT and appliances.
- Industrial and manufacturing sites: We use shorter intervals for higher-risk equipment. Moreover, we flag unsafe items immediately.
- Schools and education: We schedule testing around term times, so teaching is not disrupted.
- Healthcare and care settings: We apply appropriate regimes for patient areas. We also supply documentation for inspections and audits.
- Public sector organisations: We run managed programmes across estates. As a result, you receive centralised reporting and a single point of contact.
PAT Testing: FAQs
What does PAT Testing involve?
PAT testing combines a visual inspection of the appliance, cable and plug with electrical tests. These include earth continuity and insulation resistance. This matters because some faults are visible, while others require measurement.
Is annual PAT Testing a legal requirement?
No, annual testing is not a legal requirement. Instead, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require equipment to be maintained in a safe condition. Therefore testing intervals depend on equipment type and environment. Moreover, we include guidance on appropriate frequency as part of the service.
How are test results recorded and reported?
We provide a full asset register. It records every item tested, the inspection findings, the test results and the pass or fail status. In addition, we clearly identify failed items for compliance and record keeping.
