Almost every business has a portable appliance which is required by health and safety legislation to be regularly tested to ensure it meets health and safety standards. The correct terminology for this procedure is Portable Appliance Testing or PAT. Once tested, each appliance must be identified and labelled with a Portable Appliance Test Label or Sticker or PAT labels/stickers. PAT test labels are applied to identify whether or not an appliance has passed a standard portable appliance test as required by health and safety legislation, andsome of these PAT test stickers can even state when the appliance's next test is due. 

Label Source's extensive range of PAT test labels and stickers are extremely durable and though we believe you simply can't put a price on health and safety measures, they are very reasonably-priced indeed! Our range of PAT test labels can be divided into the four following categories:

Electrical Plug Labels 

 
Electrical Cable Wrap Labels Electrical safety tested, failed cable wrap label

 
Portable Appliance Test Record Card Portable appliance test card

 
Electrical Test Equipment Labels Out of compliance, do not use test required label equipment label 

 

If you're not sure about which of your appliances are required to undergo a PAT test, the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 have detailed portable appliance regulations. 

Some of the appliances which need to be tested and will require PAT test labels (if used on industrial, commercial, distribution or retail premises) are the following:

  • Computers, printers and other IT equipment 
  • Fridges/Freezers 
  • Kettles
  • Microwaves/Cookers
  • Irons
  • Vending Machines
  • Table Lamps
  • Telephones 
  • Cables associated with any of these electrical items 

If you have an appliance which falls under any of these categories, then make sure you get your PAT test labels or stickers from Label Source today. 

If you can't find the PAT testing stickers that you need, simply call one of the Label Source team now on 0800 3761 693.
