PAT testing

PAT testing records, done digitally

In-service inspection and testing to the IET Code of Practice — one record, one verify link.

PAT — portable appliance testing — is the in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment to the IET Code of Practice. Jobivo records the whole register digitally: visual checks, the electrical readings, the result and a risk-based retest date for each appliance.

What it covers

Portable Appliance Test RecordPAT

Per-appliance register — asset, class, visual checks, earth continuity, insulation resistance, leakage, functional test, result and retest date.

Issued digitally, every time

A verify link on every certificate

Each record has its own public web page and QR code — anyone can scan it and confirm it's genuine, any time.

Tamper-proof digital seal

Every issued PDF is cryptographically sealed, so a downloaded copy can be proven unaltered years later.

Always online, never lost

The permalink stays live for the life of the record — no filing, no re-issuing a mislaid copy.

Auto-attach to invoices

The certificate rides the job's invoice email automatically, so the customer gets the bill and the proof together.

Sign on web or the mobile app

Capture the engineer's and customer's signatures on site on a phone, or on the desktop — offline works too.

No pads or books to buy

It's all digital. Print a copy when you need one, but there's no stationery to re-order — ever.

What PAT testing records

A PAT record is a register of electrical appliances and the checks done on each: the visual inspection, earth continuity and insulation resistance readings, the functional test and the overall pass or fail. Jobivo captures the appliance identity — make, model, serial and class — and the granular checks the IET Code of Practice expects, not just a pass sticker.

Risk-based retest dates

The Code of Practice sets retest intervals by risk and environment rather than a fixed annual rule, so each record carries its own retest date. Jobivo identifies the test instrument and its calibration, computes the pass/fail totals, and flags anything failed and removed from service.

One sealed record

The finished register issues with a verify link and a sealed PDF, so the site's PAT evidence is one shareable, tamper-proof document — no clipboard, no spreadsheet.
