PAT Testing is considered “Best Practice” in business; employers have a ‘Duty of Care’ to their employees and a PAT testing programme helps them to meet that requirement.

UK Law doesn’t state that PAT Testing is required, however, any business has to be able to prove that it has taken all necessary action to ensure it’s electrical appliances are safe. The only recognised way to prove this is with a certificate from a PAT Testing company.

A PAT Test will support insurance claims and is important for Health & Safety – it shows you’re taking action to ensure your appliances are safe, as specified in the Health & Safety at Work act.
