All London airports covered

Airports are among the most demanding environments for portable appliance testing. High footfall, 24-hour operations and strict health and safety obligations mean electrical equipment must be tested, logged and certificated to the highest standard. Maritime Electrical Services provides planned PAT testing programmes across all London airport sites — from terminal retail units and airline lounges to ground-handling facilities and cargo warehouses.

Legal compliance

PAT testing obligations at airports

Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, all employers operating within airport estates — including concessionaires, airlines, ground handlers and airport authorities — are legally required to maintain electrical equipment in a safe condition. A documented PAT test register is your evidence of compliance in the event of a CAA, HSE or insurance inspection.
