What Is PAT Testing?
PAT testing (Portable Appliance Testing) is the inspection and electrical testing of plug-in appliances to confirm they’re safe to use combining a visual check with calibrated electrical tests such as earth continuity and insulation resistance. In short, that’s the PAT testing meaning behind the term, and the same PAT testing definition applies whether you are in Central London or anywhere else in the UK. Every appliance we test is left clearly PAT tested and labelled with pat testing stickers showing its pass/fail result and next retest date. For a full breakdown of what a PAT test involves, appliance classes, and the complete FAQ, see our main PAT Testing London guide.
PAT Classes — What the Categories Mean
Appliances are grouped into three PAT “classes,” which simply means categories based on how they’re protected against electric shock:
- Class 1 — earthed appliances such as kettles, toasters and photocopiers, tested for earth continuity.
- Class 2 — double-insulated appliances such as TVs, routers and many power tools, tested for insulation resistance instead of earthing.
- Class 3 — low-voltage appliances such as laptops and some chargers, carrying the lowest risk of the three.
Every appliance we test in Central London is assessed against the correct class for its category, so the right tests are applied every time.
