At HaLVE, we provide thorough and reliable Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) to ensure your electrical equipment is safe, functional, and compliant with UK safety standards. Whether you're a small business, landlord, or large organisation, we help you meet your legal responsibilities with minimal disruption.
What Is PAT Testing?
PAT testing involves the inspection and testing of portable electrical appliances to confirm they’re safe to use. It includes both a visual check and electrical testing using specialised equipment.
Why It Matters
While PAT testing isn’t a legal requirement in itself, it’s a widely accepted method of complying with several key UK regulations:
- Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
- Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
- Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998
- Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
These laws require employers, landlords, and self-employed individuals to ensure that electrical equipment is maintained in a safe condition. PAT testing is a practical way to demonstrate compliance.
What We Offer
Our PAT testing service includes:
- Visual inspection for damage or wear
- Electrical testing for earth continuity, insulation resistance, and polarity
- Clear labelling of tested items

Who Needs PAT Testing?
We work with:

How Often Should You Test?
There’s no one-size-fits-all rule, but frequency depends on the type of equipment and the environment. For example, power tools on a construction site may need testing every 3 months, while office IT equipment might only require testing every 2–4 years.
