Commercial PAT Testing
Ensure complete compliance with the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. Protect your staff, your business and your insurance with our expert portable appliance testing across Dublin.
Republic of Ireland Electrical Compliance
In Dublin and throughout the Republic of Ireland, Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is strictly governed by the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and mandated under S.I. No. 299 of 2007.
The legal parameters are explicit: the onus of electrical safety falls 100% on the employer, business owner or landlord. You must ensure all portable electrical equipment is maintained in a safe condition, regularly inspected and formally recorded by a competent person. Ignorance or delegating this responsibility to an uncertified handyman will leave your business completely exposed to prosecution and insurance invalidation.
Your Statutory Obligations:
Appoint a certified competent person to assess electrical risk levels.
Execute regular visual and electronic diagnostic tests on all plug-in appliances.
Maintain a formal asset register detailing inspection findings and future test dates.
Testing Frequency
There is no single legal mandate for a 12-month retest. The testing interval is decided by a competent person based on the specific risk and operating environment of your premises.
Offices, hotels and shops generally range from 12 to 24 months while heavy-use construction sites require testing every 3 months.
Record Keeping
A passing test is useless without the paperwork to prove it. Under ROI legislation you must maintain a formal register of all portable equipment.
Our engineers provide comprehensive logs detailing every inspection finding, precise test results and the exact date of the next required safety check.
Critical Visual Checks
A detailed visual inspection forms the most critical foundation of the PAT process. However, safety does not end when we leave the site.
Before using appliances, end-users should be trained to conduct quick visual checks hunting for cracked casings, exposed wires and damaged plugs.
