EICR tests are different to portable appliance testing (PAT). Electrical Installation Conditions Reports are a requirement. We conduct these too.
PAT Testing Cardiff
PAT testing, short for portable appliance testing, involves checking electrical appliances for safety. Only individuals with the proper qualification should conduct these tests. After testing, you’ll receive a PAT testing certificate, detailing any problems found. This certificate can serve as proof of compliance when needed.
Safety Comes First
PAT Testing is perfect for landlords, businesses, or individuals seeking peace of mind about the safety of their appliances. We’ve built a fantastic reputation for ourselves providing PAT testing Cardiff can rely on.
What are the Legal Requirements?
In Wales and England, landlords are not legally required to perform PAT testing. However, they are obligated by health and safety legislation to ensure their properties are safe. Relevant laws include:
- The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
- The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
- The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER)
It’s important to note that local councils may require PAT testing in rental properties, and it is mandatory for houses in multiple occupation (HMOs)
