How often should PAT testing be carried out?

There is no single legal interval. Frequency should be based on:

  • Type of appliance

  • How often it is used

  • Environment it is used in

  • Likelihood of damage or misuse

A risk-based testing schedule is considered best practice.

L123 Ltd supports clients by delivering risk-based PAT testing, clear records and practical advice to help demonstrate compliance with legal duties and maintain safe working environments.
