Comprehensive PAT Testing (Portable Appliance Testing)
In today’s busy commercial environment, electrical safety is paramount, and ensuring your portable equipment is safe is a non-negotiable legal requirement.
PAT Testing (Portable Appliance Testing) is the systematic examination of electrical appliances to ensure they are safe to use, protecting both your employees and your premises. Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, businesses must maintain electrical equipment to a safe standard. FM247 provides a reliable, national PAT testing service that takes the burden of compliance entirely off your shoulders.

A Rigorous, Risk-Based Testing Process
Our approach is built around industry best practice and minimising disruption. We don’t just test; we manage the entire process, providing a comprehensive, risk-based solution tailored to your operational tempo. Our fully qualified and accredited technicians use the latest calibrated equipment to conduct detailed visual inspections and electrical tests on all designated portable equipment, from office computers to industrial machinery.
Detailed Visual Inspection: The first and most critical step—checking plugs, cables, and equipment casings for signs of damage or misuse.
Electrical Functionality Testing: Carrying out necessary tests (e.g., earth continuity, insulation resistance) to check the integrity of the appliance’s protective conductors.
Asset Management: Applying durable, tamper-proof labels with test dates, next due dates, and unique asset ID numbers for easy tracking.
Minor Fault Rectification: Where safe to do so, performing minor repairs (e.g., plug top replacements or fuse changes) on the spot to minimise equipment downtime.
Achieving Full Compliance and Traceability
We deliver more than just a pass or fail; you receive a robust, traceable record of compliance. Our digital reporting system provides a full asset register detailing every appliance tested, its location, the test results, and any actions taken. This comprehensive documentation is vital evidence of your due diligence, helping you defend against potential insurance claims or regulatory scrutiny.
By partnering with FM247 for your portable appliance testing, you are choosing a highly reliable service that ensures every piece of equipment across your entire UK portfolio is safe, operational, and compliant. We turn a complex regulatory duty into a straightforward, transparent process.
