PAT Testing for Charities and Voluntary Organisations

Charities have the same electrical safety obligations as businesses.

Charities, community groups, and voluntary organisations have the same legal obligations around electrical safety as commercial businesses.

Why Charities Need PAT Testing

If your charity has employees, volunteers, or members of the public using your premises, you have a duty to ensure the environment is safe.

Common Charity Settings

  • Charity shops with tills, fridges, and heaters
  • Community centres with kitchen equipment and PA systems
  • Offices with computers, printers, and kettles
  • Venues hiring out space for events

Donated Electrical Equipment

Any donated item with a plug should be PAT tested before being used or sold. This is particularly important for charity shops selling second-hand electrical goods.
