After a PAT test, you should receive documentation proving that your appliances have been tested. Here is what to expect and why it matters.
What Is a PAT Certificate?
A PAT certificate is a document that records the results of portable appliance testing. It lists every appliance tested, whether it passed or failed, and the date of the test.
What Should Be Included?
- Date of testing
- Name and address of the premises
- Description of each appliance tested
- Unique asset number for each appliance
- Test results (pass or fail)
- Name of the tester
- Recommended retest date
Pass and Fail Labels
Appliances that pass receive a green PASS label with the test date and next test due date. Failed appliances receive a red FAIL label and should be taken out of service immediately until repaired or replaced.
How Long Should You Keep PAT Records?
Keep PAT certificates for as long as you own the appliances, plus at least 3 years after disposal. In the event of an incident, you will need to demonstrate your testing history.
