    • PAT Testing

    Pat testing or portable appliance testing is an important part of any health & safety policy.

    The Health & Safety Executive states that 25% of all reportable electrical accidents involve portable appliances. The Electricity at Work Regulations place a legal responsibility on employers, employees and self-employed persons to comply with the provisions of the regulations and take reasonably practicable steps to ensure that no danger results from the use of such equipment. This in effect requires the implementation of a systematic and regular program of maintenance, inspection and testing.

    Electrical safety obligations are not limited to businesses, of course; landlords are also responsible for ensuring the regular testing of all appliances they provide for their tenants. All portable appliances with a mains plug need testing. This includes:

  • Computers, monitors and peripherals requiring mains power
  • Audio and telephone equipment requiring mains power
  • Kettles, microwave ovens and other kitchen appliances
  • Vacuum cleaners
  • Extension leads

    • We are specialists in the testing of all IT equipment, including servers. We use the latest PAT equipment to test both 230V and 110V appliances and, as specialists in PAT testing, we are best placed to help you comply with your legal obligations. All our testing is carried out in accordance with The Institute of Electrical Engineers' (IEE) code of practice and all of our engineers are City & Guilds qualified.

    - identify any defective DIY electrical work
    - highlight any lack of earthing or bonding

    Tests are also carried out on wiring and associated fixed electrical equipment to check that it is safe and a schedule of circuits is developed during the inspection.
