Event & Exhibition PAT Testing
Fast, reliable PAT testing for events, exhibitions, and temporary installations
Professional PAT testing for events, exhibitions, conferences, concerts, and festivals across Hertfordshire. Rapid turnaround, same-day certificates, and flexible scheduling around your event dates.
About Our Event & Exhibition PAT Testing Service
Events and exhibitions involve large numbers of electrical appliances brought together from multiple sources — AV equipment, lighting rigs, catering kit, power tools, and exhibitor stands. Any one of these could pose a risk if not properly tested. The Health & Safety at Work Act and the Electricity at Work Regulations apply equally to temporary event installations as they do to permanent premises.
MES PAT Testing Ltd provides specialist event PAT testing services for event organisers, venue managers, exhibitors, and equipment hire companies across Hertfordshire. We understand the time pressures of event logistics and can work to tight pre-event deadlines, providing on-the-spot testing and same-day certification so your event can proceed with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about event & exhibition pat testing
How quickly can you PAT test equipment before an event?
We offer rapid pre-event testing and can usually accommodate same-day or next-day bookings for events in Hertfordshire. Contact us as early as possible to secure your preferred slot.
Do exhibitors need their own PAT testing certificates?
Many venues and event organisers require exhibitors to show evidence that their electrical equipment has been PAT tested. We can test and certify individual exhibitor equipment on-site or in advance.
Can you test equipment that's already been set up on-site?
Yes — our engineers can test equipment in situ at your venue. We work quickly to minimise disruption to your build schedule.
What about equipment powered by generators?
Yes — we test equipment regardless of the power source. For generator-powered setups we follow the same visual and electrical testing protocol.
Do you test equipment for equipment hire companies?
Absolutely. Equipment hire businesses have a duty to ensure all equipment they rent out is safe. We provide regular testing programmes for hire fleets, issuing certificates for each item.
