PAT Testing for Event Venues and Hire Spaces

Event venues have unique PAT testing requirements. What venue operators need to know.

Event venues, conference centres, and hire spaces have unique electrical safety requirements due to diverse equipment and users.

Why Event Venues Need PAT Testing

  • Diverse equipment: PA systems, lighting rigs, projectors, catering equipment
  • Multiple users: Different hirers bring different equipment
  • Temporary setups: Equipment set up and taken down frequently
  • Public access: Members of the public increase your duty of care

Venue-Owned Equipment

All portable electrical equipment owned by the venue should be PAT tested annually.

Hirer Equipment

Consider requiring hirers to provide PAT certificates for any electrical equipment they bring in.
