What Is PAT Testing?

PAT Testing (Portable Appliance Testing) is the inspection and testing of electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use.

This includes:

• Computers, printers, and office equipment

• Kitchen appliances like kettles and microwaves

• Power tools and other portable electrical devices

PAT Testing helps prevent electrical shocks, fires, and equipment failure, keeping your workplace or rental property safe and compliant with UK regulations.

Think of it as a health check for all your electrical appliances.
