What is Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)?

Portable Appliance Testing, PAT testing or PAT inspection is a safety check for electrical appliances. The correct term for this process is 'in-service inspection & testing of electrical equipment'.

Why is Portable Appliance Testing required?

When people work with electrical appliances, that appliance must be safe, to prevent harm or injury. Many types of electrical equipment require testing at regular intervals to ensure continual safety. The interval between tests depends on both the type of electrical appliance and where it's being used.

A quarter of all electrical accidents involve portable electrical appliances. An employer must take adequate steps to protect the users of those appliances from both electrical shock and fire hazards. In order to meet the requirements of the 1989 Electricity at Work Act, it is necessary to implement a program of planned inspection and testing of portable appliances.

Who is responsible for portable appliance safety?

If you are a landlord, you are responsible for any electrical equipment that you provide in the property. If you're an employer - large or small - plc or self employed, you are responsible for the safety of any portable electrical appliance in the building, in your office, depot or even on site. That includes any portable appliance that might be brought onto site by employees or contractors.

What is the procedure for PAT testing?

Without getting too technical a PAT test will include a visual inpection of the device to check for damage e.g a frayed cable or cracked plug. The appliance will then be plugged into an electronic PAT tester. This equipment checks the appliance for:

Earth Continuity
Insulation Resistance
Polarity of Wiring

The appliance will then be issued with a 'PASS' or a 'FAIL'. A certificate will be issued listing the status of the devices. Good practice is then for the owner of the appliances to keep this record in a safe place - obviously repairing or destroying any appliance that has not passed the test.

Thankyou for sending James. He was excellent. I could see he knew what he was doing straight away. He was very polite and he fixed the fault with the lights very quickly. I would be happy to recommend your services.

Anita Pitt, London

Excellent service. I commend you. I was very happy with the repairs. And I appreciated that he was on time. I look forward to doing business with you again.

Matthew Brooks, London

Thank-you so much for managing to repair our cooker. I had another electrician from another company but they didn't seem to have any idea what was wrong with it. Please pass on my thanks to Michael. He has done a great job.

Sara Fakhrow, London

I'm really happy I called Serviceteam. I was panicking because all the lights had gone out. It didn't seem to be a fuse board problem and I had my family over in the evening. But they came out on time, the electrician was friendly and polite and he had it fixed within the hour. A great service.

Melanie Brewer, London

There are plenty of companies out there competing for your business - and you need to make sure you're armed with all the facts before you make a decision about which one to choose. Here are a few things to check before you decide - we're confident that if you're looking for great service you'll choose Serviceteam!

Does the company or tradesperson you're considering offer free quotations?

Do they offer an open and honest pricing structure with no hidden costs?

Are their engineers certified to IEE 17th edition electrical standards as a minimum?
Remember - it is a legal requirement when working with gas or electricity.

Do they have a contactable office, not just a mobile in case of any queries?

Does anyone answer the phone in the day?

Are their tradespeople honest, reliable, polite and vetted?

If the answer to any of these questions is 'no' then give us a call - we can confidently answer 'yes' to all of these questions. Not sure? Check out our testimonials page to see what some of our previous customers think of our customer service!
