PAT testing in Paddl

Portable appliance testing (PAT) checks that your electrical equipment is safe. Paddl keeps the certificates and retest dates in one place so nothing lapses. Find it under Equipment > PAT Testing.

Storing certificates

Upload your PAT certificates with their expiry (retest) date, and link them to the relevant equipment. The page shows how many you have, how many are expiring soon, and how many have expired, and you can filter by expiry status and location.

Staying ahead of retests

Because each certificate has an expiry date, Paddl warns you before it is due, so you can book the retest in good time rather than discovering a lapse during an inspection.

Scheduling a testing visit

  1. Click Schedule Testing

  2. Set the location and date, and add the testing company and contact if you have them

  3. The visit appears in your calendar and under Maintenance & Appointments

PAT sits alongside the rest of your equipment records, so an item's testing history travels with it.
