PAT Testing for Offices

Portable appliance testing for offices, including IT equipment, kitchen appliances, extension leads and everyday workplace electrical items.

PAT testing for offices is one of the most common forms of portable appliance testing. Offices often contain a high number of everyday electrical items such as monitors, laptop chargers, docking stations, extension leads, printers, kettles, microwaves and shared appliances.

Although many office appliances are relatively routine, a professional inspection still matters because damage, poor cabling, incorrect fuses and other issues can easily go unnoticed without a structured check.

Common office equipment

Office PAT testing often includes monitors, PCs, chargers, docking stations, desk fans, heaters, printers, shredders, extension leads and kitchen appliances in staff areas.

A digital asset register can be especially useful in larger offices or businesses operating across multiple rooms or floors.

Why digital records help

When office equipment is tested through CEPAT, certificates and asset records can be delivered digitally, making the paperwork easier to store and reference later.

That creates a cleaner handover and makes future PAT testing visits simpler to manage.
