Portable appliance testing (PAT) is the term used to describe the examination of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use. Most electrical safety defects can be found by visual examination but some types of defect can only be found by testing. However, it is essential to understand that visual examination is an essential part of the process because some types of electrical safety defect can't be detected by testing.

There is no law which requires detailed records to be kept, although some system of recording what you have tested, and when, is certainly a good idea. Our advice is, as ever, to keep it simple! In many cases, depending on your business, an excercise book with hand written records is perfectly acceptable!

Many people use a simple Microsoft Excel Spreadheet to keep their PAT Testing Records - a sample you can use is here:-

You are welcome to download this spreadsheet and use it as you see fit. Obviously, you need to enter the data manually into the spreadsheet - you could record the results on paper as you go round doing the testing and then type them in later, or you could carry a laptop around with you, and enter the results as you go. You can run Excel on a small laptop, tablet (iPad etc) or even on a mobile phone - and then email the results back to the office when you've finished.
