PAT Testing for Entertainers, Musicians,
DJs, and Bands

PAT Testing for entertainers is essential for anyone performing in public spaces. Whether you're a DJ, a musician, a band, or a children’s party entertainer, you are responsible for the safety of your electrical equipment. Faulty gear isn’t just inconvenient—it can be dangerous.

​

With our fast, affordable PAT Testing service, you can perform with peace of mind, knowing your equipment is certified and safe.

​

Why Do Performers and Entertainers Need PAT Testing?

​

As an entertainer, you’re legally required to ensure your electrical equipment is safe. This applies to anyone performing in public areas—including musicians, bands, DJs, and party entertainers.

​

Venues often require a valid PAT Testing certificate before allowing setup. Without one, you could be turned away from performing.

​

Regular testing reduces the risk of fire or electric shock. It also proves that you’ve taken steps to protect your audience and venue staff.

​

How Often Should Entertainers Have PAT Testing?

​

It is recommended that entertainers PAT test their equipment at least once every 12 months. However, this can vary depending on how often each item is used.

​

For example:

  • A DJ mixing deck used weekly will need more frequent checks.

  • A spare mic used twice a year may only require annual testing.

  • Visual inspections should be done a few days before any event.

​

Performing without tested gear could damage your reputation—or even worse—risk someone's safety.

​
