THE WORK IN DETAIL

Planning pat testing.

Describe the installation or fault, the rooms affected and any new fittings. Send photographs without opening covers or exposing wiring.

  • Equipment list

    Provide an approximate number and type of appliances and identify where they are located.

  • Access and scheduling

    Explain how equipment is used and when it can be made available so the visit can be planned.

  • Records and follow-up

    Agree how results will be recorded and how any items needing attention will be communicated.

PAT testing concerns portable appliances. It is a different service from inspecting a property's fixed electrical installation.

PAT testing enquiries for Edinburgh workplaces and properties

Portable appliance testing concerns electrical equipment, while an inspection of the fixed wiring is a different service. Start with an appliance list, the setting in which equipment is used and the purpose of the enquiry. If a client, venue or property manager has requested records, share the exact requirements before booking.

Appliance numbers, access and records

Identify the equipment available for assessment and whether it is spread across rooms or sites. Explain any items that cannot be taken out of use during normal working hours. Discuss the inspection and testing scope, item identification and the records you expect to receive. Product types and access matter alongside the total appliance count.

Prepare a clear appliance-testing brief

An organised list helps define the appointment and avoids uncertainty about what is included. Existing records can provide useful context, but they do not replace agreement on the current scope. Confirm availability for your equipment and location, including any travel arrangements for enquiries outside Edinburgh.

  • Approximate appliance count and equipment types.
  • Property or workplace address and room access.
  • Working hours and items with restricted availability.
  • Required records and the organisation requesting them.

What affects a PAT testing quotation?

The number and type of items, the time needed to locate and access them, and the required record format should be discussed together. Ask how items that cannot be assessed or need further attention will be recorded. Do not assume that a label alone supplies every document requested by your organisation.

Does PAT testing cover the building's wiring?

No. Use electrical safety inspections for a fixed-installation inspection enquiry and confirm the exact report required. The inspection planning guide explains the questions to ask about purpose, access and documentation.

A clear next step

HELPFUL DETAILS

Your questions, answered.

Is PAT testing the same as an electrical safety inspection?

No. Portable appliance testing and assessment of the fixed installation cover different things. Explain which equipment or installation you need checked.
