Why Choose Procheck for Portable Appliance Testing?

What is Portable Appliance Testing?
PAT testing checks every electrical appliance to confirm it is safe for use at work. It involves a visual inspection and an electrical test using calibrated equipment. It is the recognised way for Irish businesses to meet their obligations under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Regulations 2007.
Legal Compliance
Regulation 81 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007 requires employers to ensure portable electrical equipment is periodically inspected and tested by a competent person. Businesses that skip testing face HSA enforcement action and risk insurance claims being refused.
Under Regulation 81, businesses must also retain PAT testing records for five years and make them available for HSA inspection on request.
Protecting Lives and Property
A single undetected fault can cause a fire, an electric shock or serious injury. PAT testing catches faults before they cause harm. It also gives you documented proof of compliance if the HSA inspects or an insurer requests records.

What Does a PAT Test Cover?

Every PAT test covers a visual inspection of the plug, cable, and appliance casing, followed by a series of electrical tests including earth continuity, insulation resistance, and lead polarity where applicable.

Procheck tests all portable appliances — from computers and printers to power tools, extension leads, and kitchen equipment. Every item that passes is labelled with the test date and next due date. Furthermore, every client gets free access to Procheck Hub to store their portable appliance testing Ireland records securely online.

Is PAT testing a legal requirement in Ireland?

While the term PAT testing does not appear word for word in Irish law, the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Regulations 2007 require employers to ensure all portable electrical equipment is regularly inspected by a competent person. Therefore, regular testing is essential for any Irish business. Read the full breakdown here.

How often does PAT testing need to be done?

It depends on the type of appliance and its environment. For example, office equipment needs testing every one to two years. However, equipment on construction sites or in kitchens usually needs annual testing. Find out more about testing frequency.

Which appliances need PAT testing?

In short, any electrical appliance with a plug that staff use at work needs testing. This includes computers, kettles, power tools and extension leads. See the full list of appliances covered.

What happens if my business does not get PAT testing done?

The HSA can issue notices and pursue prosecution. In serious cases, business owners face fines or imprisonment. Furthermore, your insurer can refuse to pay out on a claim if testing had lapsed. Read more about the consequences of non-compliance.
