Portable Appliance Testing for Universities
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the easiest way to ensure your university’s electrical equipment is safe.
As the building occupier, you have a responsibility to protect the safety and wellbeing of your staff, students and visitors. PAT testing involves both visual inspection and testing, to ensure your electrical appliances are in good working order and safe for use.
What is a PAT Certificate?
A PAT certificate is a document that details every electrical appliance in your university and whether it meets safety standards. PAT certificates are usually issued by a qualified electrician or PAT testing company. The certificate will include:- The site where the test was completed at
- A record of each appliance and whether it passed or failed
- The date the test was completed on
- Details about the company that completed the test
- Electrical test readings
- A recommendation for when the next test should be arranged
