~ At EPM, we provide thorough Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) to ensure your electrical appliances are safe, compliant, and operating efficiently. Whether for homes, businesses, or rental properties, our certified electricians conduct expert inspections and testing to minimise electrical hazards and maintain the highest safety standards.
PAT testing involves inspecting and testing electrical appliances to check for faults or potential risks. While some defects are visible, others require professional testing to identify. Regular PAT testing helps prevent accidents, electrical fires, and equipment failures—protecting your property, employees, and tenants.
Unlike an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), PAT testing is not legally required. However, it is a legal obligation to ensure all electrical equipment is maintained in a safe condition. PAT testing is a simple, effective way to meet these safety requirements and avoid potential risks.
The frequency of PAT testing depends on the type of equipment and its level of use. For example:
If you’re unsure how often to test your equipment, our team can provide expert guidance tailored to your specific needs.
Our skilled team ensures accurate and reliable testing.
You’ll receive a full safety certificate detailing pass/fail results.
Quality service at competitive rates.
Ensure your workplace or rental property meets safety standards.
PAT testing is essential for all portable electrical appliances used in homes, businesses, and rental properties. Common items include kettles, toasters, computers, power tools, and industrial machinery. Appliances that are frequently moved or plugged in and out are particularly important to test. Our team will inspect any appliance that could pose a risk to ensure it’s safe to use.
Yes, regular PAT testing is one of the best ways to identify faulty appliances and reduce the risk of electrical fires, shocks, or equipment failures. While some issues are visible, others may not be apparent without professional testing. By ensuring your appliances are tested and compliant, you help prevent accidents and ensure the safety of those using the equipment.
