Welcome to the Portable Appliance Testing Trade Association

PATTA is recognised in the UK as being a standards bearer for the industry; we represent the values of good practice and the high standards expected of our members and the industry.

Today we represent over 150 members and welcome new members every week.

Our goal is to raise standards in the industry by sharing best practices, help and support our members and to represent the industry when important decisions are being made that affect it.

As a PAT tester, have you ever started a new job only to be shocked by the sub-standard quality of the previous PAT testing company? Or are you a one-man band, new to the industry, struggling to get established and wishing you had someone to talk to who knew exactly what you needed help with? If this sounds like you, then you are exactly where we were when we knew the PAT testing industry needed a PAT testing association. This is why PATTA started.

PATTA was started to not only help PAT testers meet others, and have someone to talk to when they needed help, but also to try to raise standards in the industry, so we didn’t come across as many ‘cowboys’. We know what we are doing is working.
