Portable Appliance Testing (or PAT) is the process of routinely checking electrical appliances for safety, and must be carried out by a qualified electrician. In the UK, PAT testing has become a vital part of Health and Safety requirements for landlords and employers, and all portable electrical appliances must be certified as safe. PAT testing is designed for the protection of employees and tenants; portable appliances can include microwaves, televisions, kettles and almost anything else that can be connected to the mains.Under strict PAT regulations, many appliances need PAT testing at regular intervals. The actual time between tests depends on the type of appliance and the environment in which it is typically used: an annual test is the typical requirement.
