*Information post regarding PAT testing* Probably the most common question on all the DJ forums is this: Is PAT testing required by law? Well, the law states the following: Any type of business, the self-employed and landlords have a duty of care to their employees and the general public, and must comply to ensure that any electrical work equipment is safe, maintained and suitable for the purpose it is intended for. There is a legal requirement on businesses, the self employed and landlords to maintain electrical equipment in a safe condition by carrying out regular testing of portable and fixed electrical equipment to ensure it is suitable and maintained properly to avoid danger. So, no, PAT testing is not a legal requirement, however PAT testing is one way of ensuring that you don’t fall foul of the law. Hope this clears it all up a bit :)
