Overview
PAT fail labels mark an appliance that did not pass, so it is taken out of use rather than plugged back in. The tester writes the asset number, date and reason on the label, sticks it on the appliance or plug, and the site contact can see exactly what failed and why.
Who uses PAT fail labels
PAT testers and electricians testing offices, schools, shops, holiday lets, hotels and building sites. Facilities managers keep a stock for in-house testers.
Where a fail label goes
On the appliance body next to the rating plate, on the flat face of the plug top, or folded around the cable near the plug. Put it where someone reaching for the plug will see it first.
PAT fail label sizes and materials
Both sizes are small, because plugs and cables do not leave much room.
| Option | What it means | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 51mm x 25mm | Narrow strip | Plug tops, flags around cables |
| 62mm x 33mm | Slightly larger | Appliance bodies, chargers |
| Matt paper | Indoor, easy to write on | Office and household items |
| Waterproof polypropylene | Matt laminated, indoor and outdoor | Site tools, kitchen kit, extension leads |
| Gloss paper | Shiny, indoor | Printed headings |
Fields on a PAT fail label

PAT fail label packs
Packs go from 48 to 25,000; polypropylene fail labels start at 1,000. Testers usually buy fail labels in smaller numbers than pass labels, since most items pass.
