Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing) is the process of inspecting and testing electrical equipment to confirm it remains safe to use. This involves a combination of visual inspection and electrical testing and is sometimes referred to as Electrical Equipment Testing.
Our testing approach follows guidance from the IET Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment, helping ensure a consistent and recognised standard of inspection.
Electrical equipment can deteriorate over time or become damaged through everyday use. Common issues include damaged cables, loose connections, worn plugs and internal faults. PAT Testing helps identify these problems early so they can be addressed before they become safety risks.
UK legislation such as the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 places a duty on businesses to ensure electrical equipment is maintained in a safe condition.
Our PAT Testing service follows a structured process combining detailed visual inspections with calibrated electrical testing, forming part of a practical approach to workplace electrical testing.
Each item is checked for signs of damage, incorrect wiring, loose connections, plug condition and cable integrity. Electrical tests may include earth continuity, insulation resistance and polarity depending on the type of equipment.
We also assess how equipment is being used within the environment, identifying risks such as overloading, unsuitable use of extension leads or damaged accessories.
All items are labelled with a clear pass or fail result. You receive a detailed report and asset register listing all tested equipment, results and observations, helping you maintain organised records and track equipment across your site.
Electrical faults are not always visible during normal use. PAT Testing helps identify hidden risks such as overheating, insulation breakdown, exposed conductors and internal damage before they lead to electric shock or fire. A structured testing process, combined with clear reporting, helps businesses manage electrical safety more effectively. Our reports provide clear documentation to support internal safety procedures, audits and insurance requirements.
We provide local PAT Testing in Derby for a wide range of businesses and organisations. This includes offices, retail premises, warehouses, workshops, schools, healthcare environments, hospitality venues and managed properties. Different environments present different risks, and our approach is adapted to suit the type of equipment and how it is used within each workplace.
