PAT Testing Advice
How to Plan PAT Testing Across Multiple Sites in Northern Ireland
Coordinate testing across every location with one clear plan for access, appliance records, failed items and future inspections.
Coordinated Access
Consistent Testing
Clear Site Records
Practical Follow Up
One Programme Across Every Location
Multiple Sites Need More Than a List of Appointments
A multiple site PAT testing programme needs a consistent way to identify equipment, arrange access and record results across every premises. Without that shared structure, facilities teams can be left with different asset references, scattered records and failed items that are difficult to track.
The strongest approach starts with the estate rather than an individual visit. Locations, site contacts, operating hours, equipment groups and existing records should be reviewed before the schedule is agreed.

Consistent Across Every Site
A shared asset and reporting structure helps facilities teams compare results and follow up actions across the estate.
Building the Programme
Six Parts of a Coordinated Multiple Site Plan
The exact scope will reflect the estate, equipment and operating needs, but each location should follow the same agreed principles.
Named Site Contacts
Confirm who can provide access, explain local restrictions and respond when an item needs attention.
Agreed Operating Windows
Plan testing around trading hours, occupied areas, school timetables or other site requirements.
One Failed Item Process
Apply the same identification, isolation and reporting steps whenever equipment does not pass.
Clear Site Records
Keep each location visible while giving the central facilities team a useful view of the wider programme.
A Risk Based Review
Use equipment type, environment, movement and previous findings when reviewing future inspection needs.
