For businesses · do it yourself
Keep your own PAT register. We watch the dates.
Portable appliance testing is an encouraged safety practice. It is not a legal requirement. This register is for the business that would rather do the routine tests itself: we hire you the kit, train you, and manage the reminders, so the record is not left to memory.
PAT testing is encouraged. It is not mandatory in England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland.

Included
What £20 a month actually covers
- 01
Managed alerts
We hold the schedule and send the reminder. You are not relying on a colleague, a spreadsheet, or the person who left.
- 02
Kit on hire
Book a PAT tester for the days you need. It arrives by DPD and it goes back. It is not left on site.
- 03
Webinar training
A remote session on a real tester, so you can carry out the work as a competent person.
- 04
Faulty examples
Broken cables are sent with the tester. You should see a failure, not only a pass.
- 05
250 devices
Enough for a site, a small chain, or a busy office. Each one gets a record and an NFC tag.
The point of it
Minimise the bill. Stop relying on someone remembering.
You can keep paying for a visit every time a date comes round. Or you can test the portable appliances yourself, with a hired kit and a webinar, and keep that labour off the invoice.
We hold the dates. Alerts go out before a test is due. If the person who used to “just remember” has left, the register has not.
A registered tester can still visit. That call-out is optional, priced separately, and not required to run the register.
The register
A book you can look at, not a folder in a drawer.
Each appliance has a result, a place, and a next date. Current is green. Due this month is amber. Overdue is red. The view below is an illustration of that screen.
Illustration only. Sample sites, not a live register and not your appliances.

Plainly
Not a legal requirement
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require electrical equipment that could cause danger to be maintained. They do not require PAT testing, a particular sticker, or this register. A kept record is one practical way to look after portable appliances. Nothing on this site should be read as a claim that you are legally obliged to PAT test.
If you would rather not test a site yourself, a registered tester can visit. That is optional, arranged separately, and not part of the £20 or the £220.
Questions
Before you start the register
Is PAT testing a legal requirement?
No. It is an encouraged safety practice in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It is not mandatory. The general duty is to maintain electrical equipment so that it does not cause danger. PAT testing is one way to do that for portable appliances. It is not, by itself, proof that a legal duty has been met.
Does the tester stay with us?
No. The kit is hired for the booking. DPD delivers it, and it goes back when the booking ends. It is not equipment we leave on your site.
What is the commitment if I pay monthly?
Twelve months. The monthly price is the £240 annual amount split into twelve payments of £20, with no interest. If you pay £220 upfront, that is one month free against the same £240. Pro is a further £10 a month.
What are the faulty cables for?
They arrive with the tester so the webinar includes a real fail. A session that only shows passes does not prepare you for a lead that should come out of service.
Who owns the records?
When the stickers and the system are used, On Drafter Limited is the data controller and the owner of the register data.
