Legal & Compliance

While there is no single national law requiring PAT testing on a set schedule, landlords and businesses have a legal duty to ensure electrical appliances are safe.

Some councils and licensing schemes make this explicit. For example, from 24th November 2025, the Borough of Westminster requires an electrical appliance test report every 30 months for all landlord-supplied appliances.

PAT testing is the recognised way to meet this obligation — and it also demonstrates compliance to insurers, tenants, and local authorities across the wider region.
