What is PAT testing?

Portable Appliance Testing ensures your electrical equipment is safe and compliant with regulations

Inspection Process

PAT testing (Portable Appliance Testing) is a routine inspection of electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use. It involves a series of visual inspections and electronic tests to verify the appliance meets safety standards.

Visual & Electronic Testing

Legal Compliance

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 requires that all electrical equipment that has the potential to cause injury is maintained in a safe condition. PAT testing helps businesses comply with these regulations.

PAT Testing FAQs

Find answers to the most common questions about our Portable Appliance Testing services

What is PAT testing and why is it important?

+

PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) is a systematic examination of electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use. It involves visual inspections and electronic tests to identify potential electrical hazards before they cause accidents.

PAT testing is important because it helps businesses comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, which requires that all electrical equipment with the potential to cause injury must be maintained in a safe condition. Regular testing protects your employees, customers, and property from electrical fires and shocks.

While there's no strict legal requirement for how often PAT testing should be done, most businesses conduct it annually to ensure ongoing safety and compliance.

What does the PAT testing process involve?

+

Our PAT testing process includes:

  1. Visual inspection - Checking for physical damage, frayed cables, and proper assembly
  2. Earth continuity test - Ensuring proper grounding of Class I appliances
  3. Insulation resistance test - Verifying electrical insulation is intact
  4. Polarity check - Confirming correct wiring polarity

After testing, each appliance receives a pass/fail label, and you'll receive a comprehensive report detailing all tested items and their status.

How much does PAT testing in Aberdeen cost?

+

Our PAT testing in Aberdeen starts from just £55 for up to 20 portable appliances with no VAT. This includes:

  • Complete visual and electronic testing of all appliances
  • PAT Register and Certificate
  • Pass/fail labels on each appliance
  • Safety recommendations

Additional appliances over 20 are charged at just £1.40 per item. We also offer combined packages with EPC and Legionella Risk Assessment for further savings.

How often should PAT testing be carried out?

+

While there is no strict legal requirement specifying exact intervals, the general recommendations for PAT testing frequency are:

  • Offices and shops: Every 2-4 years for fixed equipment, annually for portable equipment
  • Rental properties: Every 1-2 years, or at each change of tenancy
  • Construction sites and workshops: Every 3-6 months due to higher risk
  • Hotels and restaurants: Annually for all equipment

The frequency depends on the type of equipment, the environment it's used in, and how frequently the appliances are used. Most Aberdeen landlords and businesses opt for annual testing as a sensible precaution.
