A typical day of a portable appliance testing (PAT) engineer

As a Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) engineer, no two days are the same. From hospitals to retail outlets, as an experienced PAT tester, you’ll find yourself in a variety of locations and environments.

A typical day for a PAT tester starts with packing up all the necessary tools and equipment – including testers and record books – into the van before setting off to the first job.

Once on site, it’s time to get started on testing all appliances, such as microwaves, kettles and computers that require PAT testing. This can involve using various types of test instruments designed to check whether electrical items are safe for continued use or need to be replaced or repaired. As the PAT tester, you’ll also need to inform users of the results and explain why certain appliances may be unfit for use.

When all the testing is complete, you’ll record your findings in a dedicated PAT test report book or onto an electronic system and provide employers with a copy. You may also be required to fill out additional paperwork such as completion certificates and checklists.

Throughout the day, you’ll be constantly on the move from one location to another – either alone or part of a team – so it’s important to stay organised and make sure that all tests are completed accurately and efficiently.

It takes skill, experience and patience to be successful in this role but the rewards are great. As a PAT testing engineer, you’ll be helping to keep workplaces safe as well as developing your own knowledge and expertise in the process.


Overall, PAT testing is an exciting job that is both physically and mentally demanding. It’s a career that provides plenty of variety and opportunities for advancement – so if you’re looking for a challenge then this could be the perfect role for you!

If you think you have what it takes to be a PAT tester then you can find plenty of jobs available in the industry right now. So why not take the next step and start your journey today?

This blog post has been written by an expert PAT testing engineer with years of experience in the industry. We hope this has given you some insight into what a typical day looks like for PAT testers and how they help to keep workplaces safe.
