PAT testing itself is not a direct legal requirement, but under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, all electrical equipment that could cause injury must be maintained in a safe condition. PAT testing is a common way to demonstrate compliance.
PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) checks electrical appliances for safety through visual inspections and electronic tests.
A formal visual inspection is recommended every 6 months and a PAT test every 6–12 months, depending on the type of appliance and environment.
There’s no explicit legal requirement for PAT testing, but landlords and employers must ensure equipment is safe—PAT testing is a recognised way to do this.
Poor insulation, faulty plugs, or bad grounding can cause an appliance to fail a PAT test.
Both Class 1 (earthed) and Class 2 (double insulated) appliances require PAT testing, but are tested differently.
Employers are responsible for ensuring the safety of electrical equipment used by employees, including those working from home.
UK law requires electrical equipment to be maintained to prevent danger; PAT testing is a common method to meet this legal duty.
Not testing increases the risk of accidents, equipment failure, or fire, and could result in legal consequences if unsafe equipment is found during an inspection or after an incident.
