Excellence in Portable Appliance Testing

  • Save money We only PAT test what needs PAT testing, when it needs PAT testing!
  • Out of hours service At no extra cost to maintain your productivity
  • Multiple sites We aim to offer the most competitive prices

Frequency of testing Offices and shops are classed as low risk  environments(based on information from the HSE and the IEE)

Because all installations are different it may be possible to reduce the frequency of inspections, based on initial results.

The following should be taken as a guide

  • Combined Inspection and Testing, 1-5 years

User checks, formal visual inspections and combined inspection and testing
The HSE and the IEE suggest the following strategy; user checks, backed up by formal visual inspection and combined inspection and test. Our reports give full details on carrying out user checks and formal visual inspections. The combined inspection and testing is the PAT testing inspection that we carry out. We also provide a straightforward fact sheet detailing user checks (based on HSE advice) for your employees use.

Testing notes
Users should inspect hand held equipment for damage/faults before use, all other appliances should be checked on a weekly basis.

We are happy to undergo any health and safety inductions that may be required to test on site (please let us know in advance) Please also let us know about any PPE we may need to bring.
