PAT Testing

However, there is confusion surrounding whether PAT Testing is required or recommended for businesses. In South Devon, PAT Testing is not legally required, but the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 do mandate that any electrical equipment that poses a risk of harm must be maintained in a safe condition. Although the regulations do not specify how or how often this must be done, regular inspection and testing are practical ways to comply with the regulation. Therefore, PAT Testing is a sensible option for businesses that do not have on-site electricians to inspect and maintain their electrical appliances.

PAT Testing Intervals

The frequency of inspection and testing will depend on the type of equipment and the environment it is used in. For example, a power tool used on a construction site will require more frequent examination than a lamp in a hotel room. For most office-based businesses with kitchen and laboratory equipment, we recommend annual PAT Testing.
