PAT Testing

PAT Testing Service by Professional Electricians

Kent-based Penton Electrical provides PAT testing throughout the UK to help businesses prevent electrical accidents.

These periodic inspections help employees and visiting members of the public to stay safe while making sure your electrical appliances are maintained in good condition.

Our portable appliance testing service will make sure your appliances are safe to use and then provide you with evidence for health and safety purposes that that you’ve had the tests carried out.

Businesses must by law maintain electrical equipment in a safe condition and ensure the safety of employees and the public.

Why Businesses Need PAT Testing

Although PAT testing is not in itself a legal obligation, businesses must by law maintain electrical equipment in a safe condition and ensure the safety of employees and the public. PAT testing is an effective way to help with this.

A quarter of electrical accidents reported to the Health & Safety Executive involve portable appliances.

Regular PAT testing guarantees compliance with Electricity at Work Regulations, which require that any electrical equipment that could cause injury is maintained in a safe condition.

Multiple types of businesses – large and small – benefit from PAT testing, including:

  • Factories
  • Offices
  • Hotels
  • High street shops
  • Construction site operations
  • Garages and other workshops
  • Hairdressers and spas
