Although there is no requirement in the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 to keep records of equipment and of inspections and tests, the HSE Memorandum of Guidance on these regulations advises that records of maintenance including tests should be kept throughout the working life of equipment.

Please note that PAT testing has changed due to the new 5th Edition guidance launched in Sept 2020. This guide is still relevant however we recommend viewing our 5th edition webinar to find out about the changes to the 4th Edition, which this guide is based on. Portable appliance testing (PAT) is the term used to describe the examination of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use. Most electrical safety defects can be found by visual examination but some types of defect can only be found by testing. However, it is essential to understand that visual examination is an essential part of the process because some types of electrical safety defect can't be detected by testing.
