PAT Testing is the process of inspecting and testing electrical equipment to ensure it complies with safety standards and is safe for continued use. Testing comprises two parts; a visual inspection and a series of electrical tests.

After each test a sticker is placed on the appliance indicating a pass or fail. Any appliances that fail and cannot be repaired will be recorded, removed from service and the duty holder will be notified. Most intervals are 12 months however, they can be shorter or longer depending on your own risk assessment.

We are City & Guilds trained (CG2377-22) and have carried out refresher training with industry-leading experts. We work strictly in accordance with the ‘Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection & Testing of Electrical Equipment (5th Edition) and adhere to all relevant British Standards.

We use high end PAT testing instruments, which are calibrated once per year to ensure accuracy of results. Our investment in software means you receive detailed reports and a test certificate, which is always provided the same day. Any appliance that is connected to the fixed installation should be subject to a maintenance regime. As such, we can test all 110V, 230V, 415V (up to 64A) and fixed appliances. We can also test a whole host of power connectors such as C19/C20, PowerCon, GST-18, 2A/5A/15A circular pin etc.

We are a member of the Portable Appliance Testing Trade Association (PATTA) whose primary aim is to raise standards throughout the PAT testing industry. This is achieved by improving support, training and qualifications and members must adhere to their working standards at all times. This includes, but is not limited to, the inspector being competent, using suitable PAT testing equipment and conducting inspecting and testing in line with the objectives of the current IET Code of Practice for In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical equipment.
