Questions sole traders ask
Is PAT testing a legal requirement?
There is no law that says 'PAT test annually', but employers and landlords have a duty to keep electrical equipment safe. A dated PAT record is the standard evidence that duty is met. This software produces that record.

Can I record many appliances on one report?
Yes. The record is an appliance register (each item with its location, class, test results, pass/fail and next-test date) exported as a single PDF for the client's file.
