The legislation underlying PAT
The law embodied in the statutes below states that employers
and other responsible persons must assess and manage the risks associated
with the use of electrical equipment. It applies to all companies, whatever
the size, the self-employed, landlords, schools, hospitals and many other
places where electrical appliances are used. In practice, this means implementing
an inspection and testing programme carried out by fully trained and competent
personnel. Many insurance companies also routinely require certificated
inspection and testing as part of their terms and conditions.
