Frequently Asked Questions About Our PAT Testing Services
Find answers to common questions regarding our PAT Testing services and how we can help you ensure safety and compliance.
PAT Testing (Portable Appliance Testing) and Fixed Appliance Testing is the process of checking electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use. It includes both a visual inspection and electrical safety tests, carried out by a qualified technician.
PAT Testing applies to any portable electrical item that plugs into a socket – from laptops and kettles to toasters and extension leads.
Fixed Appliance Testing is the process of inspecting and testing hardwired electrical appliances – that is those permanently connected to the mains, rather than plugged in with a standard socket. Unlike PAT Testing (for portable appliances), Fixed Appliance Testing focuses on fixed electrical installations, such as:
> Electric ovens
> Hand dryers
> Built-in heaters
> Extractor fans
>Storage heaters
> Commercial kitchen equipment
These appliances are typically wired into a fused spur and cannot be unplugged for routine testing which is why they require specialist attention.
Although there is no specific law stating that these tests must be carried out, several UK regulations require employers, landlords, and duty holders to maintain electrical equipment in a safe condition, including:
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER)
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
In short: PAT Testing isn’t a legal obligation, but it’s the most effective way to meet your legal duty of care.
Landlords & Letting Agents – for tenant safety and legal protection
Homeowners – especially if running home offices or renting on Airbnb
Businesses & Employers – to protect staff and stay compliant
Self-Employed & Freelancers – working with clients or in shared spaces
Shops, Salons & Hospitality – where equipment is used by the public or staff
Insurance policies often require evidence of regular PAT Testing. It’s also one of the first things checked during health and safety inspections.
This depends on your environment, usage, and risk level. However, as a general guide:
Offices & Commercial
Every 3-5 years
Kitchens & Catering
Every 1-2 years
Rental Properties
Every 5 years (align with EICR)
We always recommend including Fixed Appliance Testing during your Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), but it can also be done as a standalone service.
A qualified engineer will:
> Isolate and inspect the appliance
> Test connections and insulation resistance
> Check earth bonding and safety compliance
> Label the equipment
> Provide a detailed compliance report
All work is carried out with minimal disruption by trained and certified engineers.
