Portable Appliance Testing

Portable appliance testing (PAT) checks plug-in electrical equipment used at work—and often in HMOs and managed housing—so damaged leads, failed insulation and incorrect fuses are caught before they cause shocks or fires. Icomply delivers practical PAT programmes for offices, workshops, hospitality and residential portfolios across the North West. From Stockport we label appliances, record results and focus effort on higher-risk kit rather than ritual testing of everything every month without reason.

About Portable Appliance Testing

Good PAT combines formal inspection with electrical tests suited to Class I and Class II equipment, plus clear fail tags when items must be removed from service. We help you set sensible retest intervals based on environment and usage, which keeps costs under control while meeting HSE expectations for maintenance of work equipment. Combined visits with fixed-wire EICRs or emergency lighting tests reduce contractor traffic on site. Digital asset lists make it easier for managers to track hundreds of appliances across multiple floors or addresses.

Portable Appliance Testing FAQ

Is PAT testing a legal annual requirement?+

The law requires work equipment to be maintained safely; PAT is a widely accepted method. Frequency should match risk—not an arbitrary one-size rule for every item.

Do you test IT equipment and extension leads?+

Yes. Computers, monitors, leads and multi-way blocks are common inclusions; we can exclude user-owned devices if your policy requires.

What happens to failed appliances?+

They are failed-labelled and should be removed from service until repaired or replaced. We can advise on common plug and lead repairs where appropriate.
