PAT Testing for Schools
Portable appliance testing for schools, colleges and education settings, including classroom equipment, IT equipment and shared appliances.
PAT testing for schools needs to balance safety, practicality and clear documentation. Education settings often have large numbers of appliances spread across classrooms, offices, halls, kitchens, IT rooms and staff areas, which makes organised record keeping especially important.
From classroom IT equipment and projectors through to printers, extension leads, staff-room appliances and specialist teaching equipment, schools often benefit from a structured digital PAT testing process.

Why schools need organised testing records
A school may have a large and varied asset list, sometimes across multiple buildings or departments. That makes digital certificates and a clear asset register particularly useful when inspections are completed.
Well organised documentation can support internal health and safety procedures and make future retesting easier to plan.

Common school equipment we inspect
Typical items can include monitors, laptops, chargers, printers, extension leads, kettles, microwaves, IT equipment, projectors and shared electrical appliances used by staff or pupils.
Each environment is different, so the scope of work is usually shaped around the site, the volume of equipment and access arrangements.
