PAT testing software

PAT testing software for UK engineers

Record each appliance on site, including in places with no mobile signal, and issue a signed PDF certificate when the job is finished. Every item, reading and retest date is kept against the client's site.

No card required. Plans from £19.99 a month.

What gets recorded

  • Equipment class (I or II)
  • Visual inspection result
  • Earth continuity (Ω)
  • Insulation resistance (MΩ)
  • Polarity
  • Leakage current (mA)
  • Functional check
  • Fuse rating
  • Repair codes (R1 to R10, NR)
  • Pass or fail, and next due date
  • Item photos (iOS app)
  • Engineer details and signature

Features

Works offline

Assigned tests, items and templates are stored on the device. You can keep testing without a connection, and your results sync when you are back online.

Signed PDF certificates

The certificate lists every item with its readings and result, and carries the engineer's saved signature. It is ready as soon as the test is complete.

Class I and Class II

Record the equipment class for each item. Class II items don't need an earth continuity reading, and the certificate shows N/A rather than a blank.

Retest alerts

Each item has a next due date. The dashboard shows what is overdue, due this week and due this month.

Clients and sites

Organise work by customer, site and location. Sites can be imported in bulk, which helps when you take on a large client.

Customer portal

Clients get their own login to view and download their PAT certificates.

Works with Simpro

Simpro jobs come in as pre-filled tests, and the signed certificate is filed back on the job. ServiceM8 is coming soon.

Frequently asked questions

Does CertBase work without an internet connection?
Yes. Assigned tests, items and templates are stored on the device, so engineers can record PAT tests with no signal. Results sync when the connection comes back.
Does the PAT certificate show earth continuity for Class II items?
No. Class II (double-insulated) items have no earth, so CertBase records earth continuity as not applicable and the certificate shows N/A.
How much does CertBase PAT testing software cost?
Plans start at £19.99 a month, with a 14-day free trial and no card required. PAT testing, PDF certificates and offline mode are included on every plan.
