PATTA’s Background
The PAT testing industry differs to many other industries, especially ‘trades’ or other ‘services’ in that there is no regulator, no official rules or laws we have to follow, and guidance is sketchy at best. It is up to us, to make sure we are working to quality standards to ensure our industry is well represented. So PATTA was developed to try to offer something to help people in the industry, so that those people can have standards and be proud of what they do.
When we started our businesses, there was nothing like PATTA, and we had to find our feet ourselves. Whether that be by joining forces to help each other, networking or working alongside local sparkies. Of course there was a similar association for a while, BAPAT, which had a good go at enforcing industry standards, although for reasons we don’t know they didn’t continue long term.
The aim of PATTA is to connect PAT testers, and to help PAT testers, either through networking or by providing some useful tried and tested guidance from our members.
If you ever post a question in a Facebook group like PAT Testing Chat you’ll get loads of different answers, many from people taking the p(*& or who don’t even know the answers themselves, and quite often those of us in the know post a nice simple answer and end up getting shutdown! So when you are a member, head to our private members Facebook group where you’ll get useful answers to your questions from people who know the answers.
This website is packed full of useful content to help you, whether your business is new or old, whether you are employed, or just need to know about PAT. There’s content to help you in your business and content about PAT testing. We’re adding more to the site all the time, so keep checking back for more. But all this info I talk about is hidden in the private area, which you need to be a member of to get access to. Until then its off-limits.
So, get yourself signed up.
“When payment disputes happened, PATTA’s advice saved the day. I’m no longer stressing over clients who try to pay late.”
