Simply Yes;
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989; regulation 4 (2) requires that: "As may be necessary to prevent danger, all systems shall be maintained so as to prevent, so far as is reasonably practical, such danger".
Regulation 4 (2) is concerned with the need for maintenance to be done in order to ensure safety of the system if danger would otherwise result. The quality and frequency of maintenance should be sufficient to prevent danger so far as is reasonably practicable. Records of maintenance, including test results, should be kept throughout the working life of the electrical equipment to enable:
a) The condition of the equipment to be monitored.
b) The effectiveness of the maintenance policies to be assessed, and
c) To demonstrate that an effective system is in place.
All of this can be found in the IEE Code of Practice 3rd edition page 1.

In electrics what does PAT mean?
PAT Testing stands for Portable Appliance Testing. The correct full name is 'In-service Inspection & Testing of Electrical Equipment'. 'PAT Testing' term is known as a tautology (unnecessary or unessential (and sometimes unintentional) repetition of meaning).* Another example on wikipedia for this is 'short summary'; a 'summary' is a 'shortened' version of a text. It is perfectly common to write PAT Testing, PAT Tester and PAT test. In the industry they are known as 'PAT Testers' to do 'PAT Testing' to carry out a 'PAT Test'. This answer is spot on, to add to it, the method of PAT testing is the practice of electrical and safety testing on electrical appliances, to ensure an appliance is safe and thus won't give someone a shock.

There is a good handbook about to come out that covers PAT Testing, but again it is still advised you do a course as its more complicated than you might first think.
