PAT Testing
Stay compliant with health and safety regulations through professional Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) services from Surrey Electrical & Fire. We offer reliable and cost-effective PAT testing solutions across Surrey, ensuring your equipment remains safe and meets regulatory standards.
Understanding Your Legal Obligations
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, employers, employees, and self-employed individuals are responsible for ensuring the safety of portable appliances. The Health & Safety at Work Act (1974) further enforces these responsibilities in situations such as:
- When employees use electrical appliances in the workplace.
- When the public interacts with appliances in locations such as hospitals, schools, hotels, or retail environments.
- When appliances are rented or provided for temporary use.
- When appliances require repairs or servicing.
Regular PAT testing is essential for compliance, with the frequency and extent of testing depending on factors such as appliance type, usage, and environment. Contact our certified team to learn how we can help maintain the safety and compliance of your electrical equipment.

*When PAT testing microwaves, it’s essential to inspect not only the electrical safety of the appliance but also its ability to contain microwave radiation. Standard PAT checks include visual inspection of the plug, flex, and casing, followed by earth continuity and insulation resistance tests. In addition, a microwave radiation leakage test must be carried out using a calibrated leakage detector to ensure the appliance does not emit unsafe levels of radiation. This is especially important in commercial or rental settings where appliance safety is legally required. Any microwave failing this test should be removed from service immediately.
