Residential & Commercial PAT Testing
PAT Testing Compliance Regulations
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 apply to all work activities involving electrical equipment. These regulations impose a legal duty on employers, self-employed, and employees to manage risks arising from the use of electricity. Risk control measures should be proportionate and based on a risk assessment. This involves identifying hazards and implementing sensible measures to manage these risks in the workplace. (EAWR) The Electricity at Work Regulations, state that all electrical systems should be constructed, maintained and used in such a manner as to prevent danger and in consequence inspection & testing of systems (portable appliances are systems) is needed in order to determine if maintenance is needed. This must be carried out by a competent person ( A competent person is somebody who has had, and receives regular ongoing training) and is up to date with current PAT Testing regulations, set out in the IET Code of Practice for in service Inspection & Testing of Electrical Equipment.
Duty Holder
This is anyone (employer, employee, self employed person etc.) who has control of an electrical system. Control in this sense means designing, installing, working with or maintaining such systems. Duty holders have a legal responsibility to ensure their own safety and the safety of others whilst in control of an electrical system. Anyone who inspects and tests an electrical system is, in law, a duty holder and must be competent to undertake such work.
Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
PAT Testing (Electrical Equipment testing) is an important part of the day-to day safety of your workplace.
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (EWR) places the responsibility with the ‘Duty Holder’ to ensure that all electrical equipment is maintained in a safe condition to prevent danger from arising.
“4.(2) As may be necessary to prevent danger, all systems shall be maintained so as to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, such danger.”

In the UK, PAT is an essential part of maintaining workplace safety and compliance with regulations.
PAT involves a series of visual inspections and electronic tests to check the safety and functionality of portable electrical appliances. These appliances can include anything from kettles and toasters to computers and printers. power tools etc. The goal of electrical appliance testing is to identify any potential electrical faults that could lead to accidents, fires, or injuries in the workplace.
