From The Founder
A Tester's Story
I've been working in compliance for 18 years. PAT testing, fire safety, water hygiene, COSHH — you name it, I've recorded it on a clipboard, in a spreadsheet, or with software that cost a fortune and still didn't work properly on site.
I've walked into offices with 300 appliances to test, armed with a PAT tester and a paper form. I've stood in plant rooms logging water temperatures by hand. I've argued with facilities managers over whether a pass certificate was "official" enough — because it was printed from Excel.
So I built what I always wished I had. Arnold PAT Testing started as a tool just for me. The logic follows the IET Code of Practice 5th Edition exactly. The certificates look professional. It works offline. It saves every result.
Then other engineers started asking to use it. Then facilities managers. Then landlords. That's when I realised this wasn't just a tool for me — it was a tool for everyone doing compliance work in the UK who deserves better software.
Arnold Compliance is that platform. One family of apps. One price. Built by a tester, for testers — and everyone who relies on them.
The Mission
Every compliance engineer in the UK should have access to professional-grade tools at a price that doesn't break the bank. £4.99 a year. No excuses.
