Understand what has been tested, find the results for each appliance and know what needs attention. AiO’s itemised digital records help you manage the next steps after your PAT testing visit.

Your records should help you manage the equipment after we leave. AiO provides itemised digital results and certification, with appliance labels that help connect the physical item to its record.
Find the recorded outcome for each appliance in the agreed scope, with its ID, description and location. Use the results and comments to identify faults and plan follow-up action.
Keep an overview of the inspection and testing with the detailed results. Together, these record the work carried out and help you answer questions about the equipment covered.
Match a labelled item to its record and check its recorded status. A label helps identify the equipment; it does not replace the report or checks for damage between visits.
These two pages preview our new report format: a visit overview followed by itemised results. Customer names, locations and equipment references have been removed. Select either page to see it full size.
Report design preview; final formatting may vary. Dates and intervals shown relate to the example visit, and do not set a testing schedule for other equipment.
The year of test is not an expiry date. Keep reporting damage and checking equipment between visits, even when it has a pass label.
Keep failed equipment out of service until it has been appropriately repaired and assessed as safe, or replace it. Record what was done, by whom and when.
An item that was unavailable, inaccessible or outside the agreed scope must not be treated as a pass. Check any exceptions with your site contact and arrange the necessary follow-up. Compare the report with your own equipment list to identify omissions or changes.
Give someone responsibility for keeping the report, logging actions on failures and updating the asset list when equipment moves, is replaced or is bought. Previous results can help you review whether your inspection and testing arrangements remain suitable.
A pass label does not override new damage. Staff should still report damaged plugs, cables or other concerns and stop using suspect equipment.
A certificate helps demonstrate the inspection and testing carried out, but it does not prove that all of your electrical-safety duties have been met. HSE’s general workplace guidance describes records and labels as useful management tools. Specific sectors, tenancies, contracts or insurers may have additional requirements.
Read the HSE’s PAT guidance and our guide to inspection and testing frequency.
Tell us if you manage several sites, use existing asset numbers or need a particular report format. We can confirm the available reporting arrangements before the visit.
