Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, all electrical equipment that can cause injury or harm must be maintained in a safe condition.
Portable Appliance Testing is one of the most effective methods of ensuring the ongoing safety of appliances in your property.
I am a single operated PAT tester with the capability to work out of hours or weekends to avoid any disruption to your staff. I am located in the Essex & London with the ability to travel.
Is it a legal requirement to have equipment PAT tested?
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require that any electrical equipment that has the potential to cause injury is maintained in a safe condition. However, the Regulations do not specify what needs to be done, by whom or how frequently (i.e. they don't make inspection or testing of electrical appliances a legal requirement, nor do they make it a legal requirement to undertake this annually).
