PAT Testing Record Keeping

Why keep PAT Test records?

  • Under Regulation 29 of the Electricity at Work Regulations for a duty holder has to ‘prove that he took all reasonable steps and exercised all due diligence to avoid the commission of that offence’.

A regular programme of PAT Testing and electrical safety testing would address any concerns that the appropriate steps would be taken to ensure the electrical safety of pupils, employees, students,patients, tenants or guests.

An efficient source of record keeping is essential if a systematic, organised and certified form of portable appliance testing is to be implemented.
