What Is PAT Testing in Kennington - SE11?
PAT Testing (Portable Appliance Safety Checks) is a combination of visual inspection and electrical safety tests performed on portable electrical appliances and connected leads. The goal is to reduce risk of electric shock, burns, and fire caused by damaged cables, faulty plugs, poor repairs, and internal appliance faults.
A proper PAT process usually includes checking the plug, fuse rating, cable condition, strain relief, casing, signs of overheating, and then running appropriate electrical tests (depending on appliance class/type). Once tested, items are labelled PASS or FAIL and recorded on an asset list, with a certificate issued for your records.

- ✓ Electrical tests where applicable (earth continuity check, insulation, polarity, leakage)
- ✓ Clear pass/fail labels with re-test guidance
