PAT Testing

Portable appliance testing (PAT) is the term used to describe the examination of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use. The frequency depends on risk, for offices annually for construction and high use every 3 months. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require that any electrical equipment that has the potential to cause injury is maintained in a safe condition. A record and / or labelling can be a useful management tool for monitoring and reviewing the effectiveness of the maintenance scheme.

Your EICR

Once you've had the electrical installation in your home or business checked, the electrician will issue an EICR which will:
  • Record the findings of the inspection and testing to make sure the electrical installation is safe to be used until the next inspection
  • Find any damage and wear and tear that might affect safety, and report it
  • Find any parts of the electrical installation that are substandard and do not meet the Wiring Regulations, the national standard to which all domestic and industrial wiring must conform
  • Find anything in the installation that may cause electric shocks and risk of electrical fire
  • Document and record the time of the inspection, and for inspection testing in the future.
