PAT Testing and Portable Appliance Testing Information

When searching for a suitable mobile disco, you'll notice that some companies will make reference to their equipment being 'PAT tested'.Portable Appliance (or PAT) testing is a requirement that all mobile disco companies should adhere to, by law. It involves the testing of all electrical equipment to be used at your event that requires a mains supply. It's generally carried out every year and it ensures that all appliances are electrically safe to use.It is a legal requirement for the DJ to have their equipment tested. This is to comply with the The Electricity at Work Act 1989.PAT tested equipment is also required to satisfy the Public Liability Insurers. See separate page on PLI insurance.If you hire a DJ without the necessary paperwork, they may be refused entry to your venue.Check the Terms and Conditions in your chosen venue's contract. For the benefit of their own insurance cover (and legal obligations), it's possible they only allow DJs who are fully insured and hold a valid PAT certificate.Think of the consequences of your DJ being refused entry on your big day... Remember, PAT testing exists for your safety. Don't simply assume a DJ is using compliant equipment - ask to see the evidence!
