AI

AI appliance scans keep their full visual inspection. Every defect found, its severity and the reasoning is saved with the test itself, ideal evidence for failed items, faster remedial quotes and instant answers to client queries, all held in the appliance's PAT testing history.

Appliance Passport turns PAT Test Pro from a certificate generator into a complete PAT testing management tool. Instead of digging through old paperwork or spreadsheets, you have a full, searchable audit trail for every item you look after, proof of testing on demand for clients, landlords, insurers and HSE compliance.

That history is where the business value is: win repeat retest work by seeing exactly what's due and when, quote faster using saved defect findings, settle client queries with dated evidence and photos, and demonstrate compliance without leaving the app. It's the appliance-register and test-history layer that most PAT testing software makes you pay extra for, built into the same on-device workflow.

The certificate

A PAT test certificate worth handing over

A PAT test certificate your client can read at a glance, test limits to the IET Code of Practice 5th Edition, and a client book that builds itself out of the jobs already on your device.

The certificate

Built to print

True print quality. A tested, passed and failed summary at the top of the front page. Over 40 appliances to a page, so large registers stay a document rather than a ream. Failed items print on a dedicated photo evidence page with the picture you took. Asset Record exports use the same design.

Clients

A client book that builds itself

A Clients tab on the Dashboard, assembled automatically from the jobs already on your device. Every job for a client in one place, notes against the client, and a reminder before their retests fall due. Tap the reminder and the app opens that client.

Accuracy

IET Code of Practice, 5th Edition

Test limits follow the 5th Edition, including Class II FE. RCD results are recorded too. The printed label shows the recorded result. Printing a retest date on the label is a setting, off by default in line with the Code, and calendar reminders use the interval you actually recorded.

Instruments

Pick your tester, do not type it

Choose your test instrument straight from Verifi on the Contractor Details screen. Make, model and serial number fill themselves in, with the calibration record sitting behind them.

Customer reminders

Customers reminded. Your diary, filled.

Switch on a reminder for a report and PAT Test Pro emails your customer before their appliances are due for retest, so they book you in again. No chasing, no spreadsheet of due dates.

  • Sent from your business name Their reply goes straight to your own email.
  • You choose how early 14, 30, 45 or 60 days before the first appliance is due.
  • Stops by itself Retest the appliances on a new report and the old reminder ends.
  • Only who you choose One report at a time. Customers can opt out with one tap.
  • No extra charge Included with your PAT Test Pro subscription.

To set one: open a report, go to its last page and tap Remind customer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does PAT testing need to be done?
There is no fixed legal interval. The IET Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment, 5th Edition, sets intervals by risk: what the equipment is, the environment it lives in, how often it is used and who uses it. A drill on a construction site is not a desk lamp in an office. PAT Test Pro has the Code's risk assessment built in, and there is a free version of it further up this page, so you can work out an interval and record the reason for it on the certificate.
Is PAT testing a legal requirement in the UK?
PAT testing itself is not named in law. What is law is the duty: the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require electrical equipment to be maintained so as to prevent danger, and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 puts that duty on employers, landlords and anyone in control of a premises. Inspection and testing is the recognised way of showing you have met it, and a dated record is what an insurer, an enforcement officer or a client will ask to see.
Do landlords and holiday lets need PAT testing?
Landlords in England must ensure electrical installations are safe and are inspected at least every five years, and the same duty of care covers the appliances they supply. For a furnished let, a holiday let or an HMO, testing the appliances you provide and keeping the record is the practical way to evidence it. PAT Test Pro keeps every appliance under the client, so on the return visit you can see exactly what is due at that address.
How much does PAT testing cost per item?
Price per item is set by the engineer, not by any standard, and it usually falls as the job gets bigger because the visit is the expensive part. What PAT Test Pro does is make the paperwork stop costing you anything: the appliance details fill in from a photograph, the certificate and the labels come out of the same job, and the invoice can be raised from it. On a hundred appliance job that is the difference between an evening of typing and none.
Which is the best PAT testing software?
It depends on whether you want to be tied to a tester. Seaward's PATGuard Cloud runs in a browser from £84 a year plus VAT and works with manual and downloadable testers. Megger's CertSuite is a yearly subscription per user and comes with the PAT250. SimplyPats is a one off Windows only licence from £480. KEWPAT is free on iOS and Android and works with any tester for manual input. PAT Test Pro is the one built for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android with the camera doing the data entry. All prices read from each supplier's own site on 19 September 2026.
What software manages PAT testing records and certification?
PAT Test Pro does both in one app, on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android. Every appliance keeps its own record under its Appliance ID, with every test, result, reading and photo in its history, and the certificate and the retest date come out of the same job. The appliance register is searchable by Appliance ID, description or location and grouped by what is overdue, due soon or up to date, so PAT testing record keeping happens as you test rather than at the desk afterwards.
What is the best app for recording PAT test results?
Look for three things: it should work with the tester you already own, record results against each appliance rather than on a loose sheet, and turn them into a certificate without typing anything twice. PAT Test Pro is PAT tester software that takes readings from any PAT tester, fills in the appliance details from a photograph with Appliance Vision, and keeps every result in the appliance history, so the next retest starts from what was found last time. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android with a seven day free trial.
What software generates PAT certificates automatically?
PAT Test Pro is portable appliance testing software that builds the certificate from the job itself, so there is no form to fill in at the end. The PDF carries the tested, passed and failed summary on the front page, the full appliance register after it, your company details, the test instrument serial and calibration certificate number, and failed items on their own photo evidence page. Send or print it straight from the preview, and on iPhone, iPad and Mac, link Mint Books and the invoice is drafted from the same certificate.
Is there PAT testing software for Mac?
Yes. PAT Test Pro runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and one subscription covers all of them on the same Apple Account. It is also on Android, with its own subscription through Google Play. Most PAT testing software is Windows only, so if you work on a Mac your usual choice is a browser based system or a virtual machine. Here the job you start on site is the same job you finish at the desk, and your clients and appliance history follow you between devices through your own iCloud.
Is PAT Test Pro available on Android?
Yes. PAT Test Pro is on Google Play for Android phones, with its own subscription through Google Play. The Android app works on its own: your records stay on the phone and are included in Android backup, and they do not sync with the iPhone, iPad or Mac version.
Is there a free PAT testing app, and what does PAT Test Pro cost?
PAT Test Pro is free to download and comes with a seven day free trial with nothing held back. After that a subscription is needed to send and save certificates, monthly or yearly, with unlimited certificates and no charge per certificate or per appliance. Appliance Vision scans use tokens, which come in packs in the app. The current prices are shown on the App Store listing, because that is the only place they are ever up to date.
Can I print PAT test labels and stickers?
Yes. Tap info on an appliance to create a PAT test label carrying the Appliance ID, the appliance, its location, the test date, the result, who tested it and your company, with a QR code alongside it. The label prints on any AirPrint printer, or you can save it to your photos and send it on. It shows the real result, so a failed or untested appliance can never leave with a pass on it. Printing a retest date on the label is a setting and is off by default, in line with the Code of Practice.
Can I get a PAT testing certificate template or example?
You do not need a template. PAT Test Pro produces a finished portable appliance test certificate as a PDF, with the tested, passed and failed summary on the front page and the full appliance register after it, around forty appliances to a page. It carries your company details, your scheme logo, the test instrument serial and calibration certificate number, any limitations you agreed, and the declaration citing the 5th Edition. Failed items print on their own photo evidence page with the picture you took.
Can I import a PAT testing record sheet or spreadsheet?
Yes. If a client sends you their appliance list as a CSV file, open it in PAT Test Pro and it becomes a new job with the columns matched for you. Your existing jobs are never changed, and a list covering several sites lands as one job per client. Going the other way, you can export the record as a CSV with every column the register holds, for a client who wants it in a spreadsheet, and the Asset Record prints the register on its own as a PDF.
Does it work with any PAT tester?
Yes. PAT Test Pro takes your readings from any PAT tester, whatever the make, because you are not downloading from the instrument. Choose your instrument once from Verifi on the Contractor Details screen and the make, model and serial number fill themselves in on every certificate, with the calibration record behind them. There is no hardware to buy and nothing to pair.
Does it work offline?
Yes, for the testing itself. Certificates, appliances, clients and labels all work with no signal, which is the normal state of a plant room or a basement, and on iPhone, iPad and Mac everything catches up through your own iCloud when you are back in range. On Android it stays on the phone and is included in Android backup. The one thing that needs a connection is an Appliance Vision scan, because the image is analysed off the device.
What is Appliance Vision?
Appliance Vision is the camera doing the data entry. Photograph the appliance, including the plug, the cord and the body, and it identifies the item, fills in the description and the class, suggests the fuse rating against Table 10.6 and assesses the cord and plug condition. On a Class I item you can photograph the open plug as well and it checks the wiring and terminals. The confirmation screen shows its working, and the app is explicit that the analysis is advisory only and the competent person makes the final pass or fail decision. The photograph stays with the appliance and prints on the failed appliances page.
How do I start a PAT testing business?
Get competent first: the Code of Practice expects the person testing to understand what the readings mean, not just to press a button. Then you need a tester, insurance and a way of issuing records a client will accept. The record is the part people underestimate. A business lives on repeat work, so what matters is knowing what is due, for whom, and when. PAT Test Pro builds that register out of the jobs you have already done and reminds you before each retest falls due.
What is PAT testing and why use a PAT testing app?

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the routine inspection and testing of electrical appliances to confirm they are safe for continued use. It covers visual checks, earth continuity, insulation resistance, and functional testing. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, duty holders, including employers, landlords, and venue managers, must ensure that electrical equipment is maintained in a safe condition. PAT testing is the recognised method of meeting that obligation.

A PAT testing app replaces paper-based record keeping and desktop software with a mobile workflow that runs entirely on your phone or tablet. Instead of writing results on forms and transferring them to a computer later, a PAT testing app lets you record test results, generate certificates, print QR labels and share reports with clients, all from the job site, with no office step required.

PAT Test Pro vs traditional PAT testing software

Most PAT testing software grew up alongside a manufacturer's own hardware, and it still shows in what each one is good at. Seaward's PATGuard Cloud runs in a browser and takes manual entry as well as downloads from a range of testers. Kewtech's KEWPAT is free on iOS and Android and connects to the SMARTPAT over Wi-Fi and the KEW80L over Bluetooth, while also accepting manual entry from any tester. SimplyPats downloads from over fifty instruments but is a Windows licence. What they have in common is that the typing is still yours to do.

PAT Test Pro takes a fundamentally different approach. It is a standalone PAT testing app that works with any PAT tester from any manufacturer, Megger, Seaward, Kewtech, Metrel, Martindale or any other brand. There is no hardware lock-in. PAT Test Pro also includes AI appliance scanning via Appliance Vision, automatic cloud sync across all Apple devices, built-in barcode scanning, QR code label generation, retest scheduling, and professional branded PDF certificates, features that go well beyond basic data logging.

For electricians and PAT testers who want a complete mobile PAT testing workflow without being tied to a single manufacturer, PAT Test Pro is the PAT testing app built for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android, where the camera does the data entry and the certificate, the label and the retest reminder come out of the same job.

Who needs to carry out PAT testing?

Any organisation or individual responsible for electrical equipment used by employees, tenants, customers or the public should carry out PAT testing. This includes offices, schools, universities, hospitals, hotels, restaurants, retail premises, construction sites, landlords with furnished rental properties, churches, community centres, and events venues. Self-employed tradespeople working on client premises also need to ensure their own portable tools and equipment are tested and safe.

The IET Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment (5th Edition) provides guidance on testing frequencies based on the type of equipment, the environment, and the risk level. A PAT testing app like PAT Test Pro helps manage retest schedules with built-in calendar reminders so nothing is missed.

The parts of a PAT test record

A PAT test record covers the appliance and its class, Class I or Class II, a visual inspection, and the tests that apply to it: earth continuity, insulation resistance, polarity and, where fitted, the RCD. The IET Code of Practice 5th Edition sets out how each is done and how often to retest. PAT Test Pro records each of these against the appliance, keeps the appliance register for every client, and produces the certificate, the QR code label and the retest reminder from the same job, which is what replaced the paper record sheet for most testers.

Take control of your PAT testing workflow today with PAT Test Pro, the PAT testing software built for UK electricians on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android.
