PAT Testing — UK Legal Requirement
Under the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994 and the
Health and Safety at Work Act, landlords, employers and letting agents
have a legal duty of care to ensure every portable electrical
appliance they provide is safe to use. PAT Testing is the standard,
recognised way to demonstrate this compliance for furnished lets, offices, shops and HMOs.
Each appliance is inspected and tested by a qualified PAT testing electrician,
then given a clear pass or fail label. A digital certificate is provided
as evidence of compliance for insurers, local authorities and tenants.

What is PAT Testing?
PAT Testing Manchester — Everything You Need to Know
PAT Testing — short for Portable Appliance Testing — is the process of visually inspecting and electrically testing portable appliances to make sure they are safe to use. It is carried out by a qualified PAT testing electrician and is the standard way landlords, letting agents and employers demonstrate compliance with the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994.
The test covers every portable appliance at the property — kettles, toasters, microwaves, lamps, TVs, fridges, washing machines and more. Each item receives a visual inspection, an earth continuity test, an insulation resistance test, a polarity check, a fuse check, a functional test and a leakage current test.
Once testing is complete, every appliance is given a clear pass or fail label and a digital PAT Testing report is emailed to you the same day.

Q. How often should PAT Testing be carried out?
Typically annually for furnished rental properties, offices and HMOs, though the right interval depends on the type of appliance and how it's used.

Q. What happens if an appliance fails the PAT Testing inspection?
Any appliance that fails is labelled clearly as Fail and taken out of use immediately. You will receive a written report with details of the fault. The item should not be used again until it is repaired or replaced and re-tested. We can arrange retesting of repaired items as part of our service.
