Portable appliance testing is abbreviated as PAT. The correct term for the whole process is "In-service Inspection & Testing of Electrical Equipment" as defined by IET/IEE. British law (the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989) requires that all electrical systems and electrical appliances are maintained to prevent danger. Private houses are not covered by this legislation, The HSE and the local authority are responsible for the policing of this legislation. Where a landlord provides an electrical appliance as part of a tenancy, the law expects the appliance will be maintained in a safe condition that will not cause harm to the tenant. Failure to do so could lead to the landlord being sued for negligence. Portable appliance testing is always best practice for landlords. Health and safety regulations require that electrical appliances are safe and maintained to prevent harm to workers.
