We provide reliable and fully certified Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) services to ensure that your electrical equipment is safe, compliant, and properly maintained. Serving businesses across various industries, we help you meet health and safety requirements while minimizing risks associated with faulty electrical appliances.

Why is PAT Testing Important?

PAT Testing is a crucial part of workplace safety and regulatory compliance. Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act, employers are legally required to ensure that all portable electrical equipment is maintained in a safe condition. Regular PAT testing helps prevent electrical hazards, reduces the risk of accidents, and ensures compliance with workplace safety regulations.

What is a Portable Appliance?

A portable appliance is any electrical device that uses a plug and socket connection to receive power. This includes items such as:

• Power tools
• Extension leads
• Office equipment (computers, printers, kettles, etc.)
• Industrial machinery and plant equipment

Compliance and Record Keeping

The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Regulations require that all portable appliances be tested at least once a year. Records of these tests must be maintained for a minimum of five years and made available for inspection by the Health and Safety Authority (HSA). JPC Plant and Safety ensures that all test results are properly documented for compliance purposes.
