What is PAT testing?
PAT Testing, or Portable Appliance Testing, is a process designed to ensure the safety and proper functioning of portable appliances. These are devices that can be easily moved and unplugged from a power source, ranging from small items like kettles to larger appliances such as free-standing fridges.
How do I get PAT testing?
Typically, a visual inspection by the landlord is sufficient for most appliances. However, if an appliance is difficult to check or if the landlord is unsure about its safety, it's advisable to have a qualified professional conduct the inspection. For reliable property safety certificates, consider using Safe2rent. More details can be found here: Safe2rent Property Safety Certificates.
