Complete EPC – PAT Testing Assessors For Your Property

Portable Appliance Testing, commonly known as PAT Testing, is an essential process to ensure the safety and integrity of electrical equipment in various settings.

This testing method involves a thorough examination and evaluation of portable appliances to identify any potential faults or malfunctions.

By adhering to PAT Testing regulations, businesses and individuals can minimize the risk of electrical accidents, such as fires or electric shocks, and maintain a safe working environment.

Regular PAT Testing not only helps to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations but also provides peace of mind, knowing that electrical equipment is in proper working order. It is recommended that PAT Testing be conducted by qualified professionals to guarantee accurate and reliable results.

Do I need a professional to do PAT testing?

Pat TestingMost electrical appliance defects can be uncovered after a simple visual examination. However, there can still be defects that are not obvious and may require professional services to uncover.

Complete EPC recommends that you allow our qualified staff to examine your appliance even if you may not be able to see any faults yourself.

Do I need to Test all my Appliance Every Year?

No. PAT testing is subjective to the appliance in question and the environment in which it is being used. For example, a power tool being used in a construction site may need to be examined more frequently than a lamp in a hotel bedroom.

My Appliance is brand new, I don’t need any testing.

New electrical equipment may not need a complete PAT test. Nonetheless, you need to ensure a safe working environment for it and at least a simple visual check is recommended.

Is Pat Testing a Legal Requirement?

No. The law simply requires an employer to ensure that their electrical equipment is maintained in order to prevent danger.  It does not say how this should be done or how often.

Employers should take a risk-based approach, considering the type of equipment and what it is being used for. If it is used regularly and moved a lot eg a floor cleaner or a kettle, PAT testing (along with visual checks) can be an important part of an effective maintenance regime giving employers confidence that they are doing what is necessary to help them meet their legal duties. HSE provides guidance on how to maintain equipment including the use of PAT testing.electrical safety label

The Electricity at Work Regulations of 1989 require that all electrical equipment that has the potential to cause injury needs to be maintained in a safe condition. Even though, the PAT test is not a legal requirement but if an injury were caused due to an electrical risk in your workplace it will point to your negligence, and in which case you will have broken the law. So it’s better be safe than sorry.
