The kit, the training, the record

Five steps. Then we watch the dates.

The £20 register is a way to test portable appliances yourself without leaving the schedule to memory. The tester is hired. The training is a webinar. The tag is NFC. The reminder is ours.

  1. 01

    The kit arrives by DPD

    Book the days you need a PAT tester. It is delivered, you use it, and it goes back when the booking ends. The hire is part of the register. The tester is not left at your site, and it is not yours to keep.

  2. 02

    A webinar, with faulty cables in the box

    The remote session walks through a real test, so you can carry out this work as a competent person. You do not need to arrive with a testing qualification. Example faulty kit — broken cables — is sent with the tester. The point is to watch a lead fail, not only to watch one pass.

    Example faulty kit sent with the tester: a split sheath, a damaged pin, and a taped joint. Each one should fail.

  3. 03

    Write the NFC tag

    Record the result against the appliance, then write the tag. The sticker carries the result, the place, and the next due date. The same record sits on the register.

  4. 04

    Scan, and the record opens

    A phone scan of the tag opens the record: what the appliance is, whether it passed, where it sits, and when it is next due. Anyone who needs the answer can see it without hunting through a folder.

  5. 05

    We send the reminders

    Managed alerts go out before a test is due. That is the part you are paying us to hold. The register does not depend on someone remembering, and it does not stop if that someone leaves.

After the first round

You test. We keep the diary.

Up to 250 devices sit on the register. When a date approaches, the reminder is already written. If you want a registered tester to visit instead of doing a round yourself, that call-out is optional and priced separately.

Still not a legal requirement

Nothing in the kit, the webinar, or the tag turns PAT testing into a statutory duty. It remains an encouraged way to maintain portable appliances. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 ask for maintenance where danger could arise. They do not prescribe this test.
