Welcome to the Portable Appliance Testing Information site.

This website is sponsored by First Stop Safety and is devoted to information on PAT testing (Portable appliance testing), PAT testers and PAT testing courses. Just follow the links above to get to the information on PAT testing, PAT testers and PAT testing courses. This site will be a valuable on-line resource for anyone undertaking PAT testing in offices, hotels, schools, warehouses, factories and workshops.

There are articles on PAT testing with emphasis on "in-house" PAT testing. For many companies, "in-house" PAT testing could result in cost savings. The information here attempts to show how straightforward PAT testing really is. The HSE say that if a PAT tester with PASS and FAIL indication is used, then someone with no electrical skills can carry out the PAT testing. Information on PAT testers with PASS and FAIL indication is included in the section on PAT testers. This includes our NEW battery powered PAT Tester, the BattPAT. The BattPAT speeds up PAT testing, as it is now so much quicker to carry out.

There are links provided to PAT testing courses. These PAT testing courses can be completed in your own time (Distance Learning) or by attending one of our half day Demystifying PAT Testing course, or our full day In-Depth Workshop.

Please keep revisiting this site, to view the latest information available on PAT testing, PAT testers or PAT testing courses.
