Are your electrical appliances safe?

There's more to equipping a rental property than just leaving your old toaster, microwave and kettle there for your tenants. Electrical appliances have to meet specified requirements. As the landlord, it's your responsibility.

The law and you, the landlord

The General Products (Safety) Regulations 1994 require that all goods must satisfy general safety provisions. The law requires that all electrical appliances are safe and strongly recommends that they be tested regularly. With the number of electrical appliances in most modern homes, that's a lot of checking for someone.

Fortunately, help is at hand. For nearly 15 years, Safety Testing Limited has been checking electrical appliances for customers just like you across the south of England. We do the checking: you, the landlord, and your tenant enjoy peace of mind knowing that everything is being taken care of.
