Questions
What is Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)?
PAT testing is a systematic examination of electrical appliances to ensure they are safe for use. We perform visual inspections and electronic tests to verify earth continuity, insulation resistance, and leakage currents.
How often should electrical equipment be tested?
Testing frequency depends on equipment type and usage environment. We recommend annual testing for most commercial appliances, with more frequent checks for high-risk or portable equipment.
Are your engineers qualified to perform electrical testing?
All our engineers are qualified electricians holding City & Guilds 2391-50 certification for electrical testing. They follow strict procedures outlined in IEE Guidance Note 3.
Do you provide documentation after testing?
Yes, we supply detailed test records including asset registers, pass/fail results, and certification. These documents help demonstrate compliance during health and safety audits.
What areas do you cover for on-site testing?
We operate nationwide across the UK, providing testing services to businesses in all major cities and rural locations. Our engineers can reach most sites within 24-48 hours of booking.
How long does PAT testing take for a typical business?
Testing duration depends on the number of appliances. For 100 appliances, our team typically completes testing within one working day with minimal disruption to business operations.
