Common FAQs
PAT testing is important as it can help ensure that your electrical equipment is safe. Damaged equipment is more likely to cause an electric shock or fire, which can potentially harm your staff and customers, as well as damage your building.
Some insurance companies ask that businesses have proof of the PAT testing procedure being carried out. This is in order to prove that the electrical equipment on their premises is in a safe condition.
If someone is injured or property is damaged as a result of faulty electrical equipment, an insurance company may refuse to accept a claim.
Broadly speaking, anything that is plugged into a power source needs to be tested as part of the PAT testing procedure.
This includes everything from the office photocopier and computer monitors, to the kettle and microwave in the kitchen.
The honest answer… it depends!
PAT tests are priced per unit. For example, if you have a computer with two monitors, it would be counted as six separate units to be tested. The computer, the two monitors, and the three power leads.
When you contact your PAT tester, let them know roughly how many units need to be tested. If you’re not sure, forward them a copy of your last PAT testing report or asset list if you have one.
