Members can book a 30-minute slot for up to six items, and sessions can take place between 11:00 am - 3:00 pm.    About PAT testing There is often misunderstanding around PAT testing and the statement that it is not a legal requirement. Whilst PAT testing is not a legal requirement, currently the only way it’s possible to demonstrate due diligence and satisfy all regulation requirements and insurance needs, is to have proof that the electrical equipment being used is safe and fit for purpose. When a venue asks for proof you will need to provide it. PAT testing will ensure your equipment and power leads are safe, and is the easiest way to ensure compliance with the 'Electricity at Work Regulations'. It satisfies public liability insurance requirements where compliance with such statutory regulations and safety legislation is required, and provides you with peace of mind. Learn more about PAT testing. How to attendMembers must register for a 30-minute slot in advance. To book a place, please email sni@themu.org. Book your place See all events
