Pat Testing is a Legal Requirement
The Electricity at Work Regulations requires that employers maintain their "electrical systems" at work to prevent any danger to anyone. This is a legal requirement.

 What is an Electrical Portable Appliance?
Any appliance which needs testing is anything with a plug attached to it. It should also be portable. A Personal Computer for example, has a monitor, power lead, speakers and maybe an multi-socket extension to test. Other examples include Kettles, Irons, Leads, Extension Cables, Treadmills and Printers. Fridges and washing machines are also considered to be portable.

Out PAT testing services is a sophisticated test of each appliance and each applaince tested inspected and all results recorded. All passed appliances are stickered with a test date, and retest date for the user to see when renewal is due.

We also issue a full list of all appliances tested and inspected and all results. A certificate is issued for display to show appliances have been tested and inspected and all have passed and are safe and fit for use.

Most business insurances wil require properties to have these certificates so as standard we also keep certificates and records on our dedicated certificate server (backed up and hard copies too) this encase for example in worse case documentation is lost or destroyed and insuarance purposes wish a copy of these certificates.

We also repair/replace plugtop that fail PAT free of charge. Our PAT testing is not an expensive exercise and a cheap way for employer to compy with above legal requirments.

We do PAT testing for many of our clients and many companies that have more than one office or store. We will test for our clients that only have a few appliances to clients that have thousands of appliances.
