Portable APPLIANCE Testing
All items will be tested in accordance with the British standards and a label with a unique identification number will be placed on each appliance.
The labels are small and discreet as well as having a unique identification Barcode.
A single certificate with the number of items tested will be issued plus an itemised report of each appliance with corresponding identification number and location.
We use the very latest and most advanced PAT testing machines, which enables us to carry out the testing and record the data more efficiently and effectively, offering you the best service and value for money in the industry..

Pat testing or portable appliance testing is an important part of any Health & Safety Policy. The Health & Safety Executive advises that 25% of all reportable electrical accidents involve portable appliances.
The Electricity at Work Regulations
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.
The level of inspection and testing required is dependant upon the risk of the appliance becoming faulty, which is in turn dependant upon the type of appliance, the nature of its use and the environment in which it is used.
The Institution of Electrical Engineers published the “Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment”. This guide forms the basis for portable appliance testing in the U.K.
