Specialist in PAT Testing (EET Testing)
EET – Electrical Equipment Testing
(Previously known as PAT)
EET encompasses the testing and inspection of portable electrical equipment and appliances including heavy plant and fixed appliances up to 400v. Southern EET will work with duty holders to ensure that your appliances are in line with the IET ‘Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment’ and will provide a PDF asset register of your appliances.
Is PAT Testing a Legal Requirement?
While having a PAT Testing certificate for your appliances is not a legal requirement, carrying out professional testing on your equipment helps to demonstrate your legal obligations regarding electrical safety regulations and compliance. Our customers include domestic, landlord, business, musicians and self employed, they appreciate the piece of mind that comes with having a professional record of electrical safety, to demonstrate they have achieved their legal obligations to their staff, customers and wider public.

Southern EET Testing has over 15 years of experience providing specialist PAT Testing and EET Testing solutions.
We also partner with Electrical Contractors and Facilities Management companies across London and the South East who trust us to provide a fully managed portable appliance testing service to their clients.
Why Did PAT Testing Change to EET Testing?
The name of the electrical safety testing process changed from PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) to EET (Electrical Equipment Testing) to reduce confusion about what needs to be tested:
Scope
The term "portable" in PAT could lead people to believe that the tests only apply to small, portable items like laptops and toasters. EET more accurately represents the wider range of electrical equipment that needs to be tested, including fixed appliances and extension leads.
Terminology
The term "EET" emphasizes the need for regular safety checks on all types of electrical equipment.
Industry standards
EET testing aligns with current industry standards, such as the IET Code of Practice
