To ensure that electrical equipment and appliances are in good working order and are therefore safe to use, Portable Appliance Testing, or PAT, is an essential part of electrical safety in residential, commercial and industrial properties. Scott Electrical are NICEIC-approved electricians who are qualified and experienced with every facet of PAT testing – offering advice on PAT testing frequency, compliance guidelines, inspection and certification.
PAT testing is a crucial component of maintaining compliance with national health and safety requirements, particularly the Electricity at Work legislation, and business owners have a legal obligation to ensure electrical safety within their organisation.
Scott Electrical offer affordable, reliable and efficient PAT Testing for large and small business across Leeds and Yorkshire.
We also undertake all aspects of electrical design, installation, maintenance, and repairs for every type of business, adhering to the most recent edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations for the use of all electrical equipment.
Although it is not a required legal obligation for landlords in England and Wales, portable appliance testing (PAT) is nonetheless regarded as best practice. All electrical items provided as part of a lease, or inside a rental property, must be safe for use, according to government-mandated responsibilities.
In HMOs, PAT testing is often required yearly but it is not legally necessary unless specifically required as a condition of a licence.
Scott Electrical carry out PAT tests and electrical inspections to an array of businesses and tenanted properties across Leeds and Yorkshire.
