Portable Appliance Testing (PAT testing) is the process of inspecting and testing electrical equipment to ensure it remains safe for use. This involves a combination of visual inspection and electrical testing and is sometimes referred to as Electrical Equipment Testing.
Our testing follows the IET Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment, helping ensure a consistent and recognised standard.
Electrical equipment can deteriorate over time or become damaged through regular 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 a safety risk.
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 in Sutton Coldfield combines detailed visual inspections with calibrated electrical testing as part of a structured electrical testing process.
Each item is checked for damage, plug condition, cable integrity and correct wiring. Electrical tests may include earth continuity, insulation resistance and polarity depending on the type of equipment.
We also assess how equipment is used, identifying risks such as overloaded sockets, unsuitable extension leads or incorrect usage.
All equipment is labelled with a clear pass or fail result. You receive a detailed report and asset register listing all tested items, results and observations, helping you manage electrical safety across your site.
Electrical faults are not always visible during normal use. PAT testing helps identify hidden risks such as insulation breakdown, overheating, exposed conductors and internal faults before they lead to electric shock or fire. A structured testing process combined with clear documentation supports ongoing electrical safety management. Our reports provide clear records to support internal safety procedures, audits and insurance requirements.

PAT testing helps ensure electrical equipment remains safe, suitable for use and properly maintained. It reduces the likelihood of faults going unnoticed and supports a safer working environment.
