What Is PAT Testing ?
Portable appliance testing (commonly known as PAT is the name of the process in which electrical appliances are routinely checked for safety. The formal term for the process is "in-service inspection & testing of electrical equipment". Testing involves a visual inspection of the equipment and any flexible cables for good condition, and also where required, verification of earthing (grounding) continuity, and a test of the soundness of insulation between the current carrying parts, and any exposed metal that may be touched. The formal limits for pass/fail of these electrical tests vary somewhat depending on the category of equipment being tested.
We PAT test all UK plugged appliances, fixed appliances, 110 volt and 16amp.

The guidance states that private landlords in Scotland should ensure all electrical appliances provided by the landlord under the tenancy agreement are electrically safe. One way of doing this is to have a suitably trained person PAT test all Landlord owned appliances.
Lothian PAT Testing Scotland will check all electrical appliances such as microwaves, toasters, televisions and fridges and apply pass labels on all items. Any items that fail will be labelled with a fail label and the landlord advised to have it replaced or repaired. A detailed log of the test results will also be left with the landlord showing the results for each appliance along with a PAT test certificate.
