Frequently Asked Questions
PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) is the examination of electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use. In Barry, it's crucial for businesses and landlords to comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and demonstrate duty of care to employees, tenants, and visitors.
The frequency depends on the type of equipment and environment. Generally, offices in Barry should test every 2–4 years, construction equipment annually, and hire equipment before each hire. We provide tailored recommendations based on your specific circumstances.
Any portable electrical appliance with a plug should be tested, including computers, monitors, printers, kettles, microwaves, power tools, extension leads, desk lamps, and more. We can assess your Barry premises and advise on all items requiring testing.
Testing time varies depending on the number and type of appliances. On average, each appliance takes 2–5 minutes to test. We work efficiently to minimise disruption to your Barry business operations.
Failed appliances are labelled and removed from service. We provide a detailed report explaining the failure reason and recommendations for repair or replacement. This ensures safety and compliance in your Barry property.
While not legally mandatory for landlords in Barry, PAT testing is highly recommended and often required by insurance companies. It demonstrates due diligence and ensures tenant safety, particularly for furnished rental properties.
