What is PAT Testing?
PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) This is a legal requirement for all rental properties, not just commercial but domestic too.
This term used to describe the examination of electrical appliances and equipment in the home, office or anywhere there can be portable appliances, The PAT Testing is part of your compliance documents required for registering for a landlord, HMO licence, Airbnb.
To ensure they are safe to use. Most electrical safety defects can be found by visual examination, but some types of defects can only be found by electrical testing. 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 electrical testing alone. Landlords in Scotland are required by law to have items that they have in their property PAT Tested on a yearly basis. Items must be tested, pass or fail sticker applied and documented in a PAT Testing Certificate.
