How Often Should You PAT Test Your Electrical Equipment?
The frequency of inspections depends on the type of equipment and its usage. High-risk environments or frequently used portable appliances require more regular testing, while low-risk environments may only need annual testing. Regular PAT testing helps identify potential risks early, ensuring continuous electrical safety. Adhering to recommended testing intervals maintains compliance with safety standards, minimizes electrical risks, and extends the lifespan of your electrical items. Consult with a competent person to establish the optimal testing schedule for your needs
HIGH RISK APPLIANCES
The following appliances are responsible for the most fires when faulty:
- Toasters and Toaster Ovens.

If any of these electrical appliances in your list haven’t been PAT tested recently, we strongly recommend a thorough portable appliance inspection and examination.

Is Portable Appliance Testing a Legal Requirement?
If you’re a landlord, business owner, or employer, PAT testing is crucial to meet legal obligations. You are legally required to ensure that any electrical appliance you provide is safe for people using your premises. The Health and Safety at Work Act of 1974 and the Electricity at Work Regulations of 1989 both emphasize the importance of maintaining electrical safety standards to prevent safety risks and electrical accidents. Regular testing helps you stay compliant and safeguard your experienced staff and tenants.
