Comprehensive PAT Testing Service
Every appliance undergoes a detailed visual inspection and electrical safety test to identify faults, damage, or potential risks before they become serious problems
Thorough Visual Inspections
Before any electronic instrumentation cycles occur, a critical step is detecting physical damage. Our engineers evaluate every asset systematically:
- Flex Inspection: We carefully inspect the flexible cable for cuts, fraying, stress damage, or any signs of wear that could compromise electrical safety
- Plug Inspection: Each plug is opened and checked to ensure the cable is securely anchored, wiring is correct and compliant, the fuse is the correct rating for the appliance, and there are no signs of overheating or physical damage
- Appliance Inspection: The appliance itself is checked for safe operation and overall condition, including correct on/off functionality, damage to casings or cabinets, and any risk of access to live electrical parts
Rigorous Electrical Testing Procedures
Our PAT Testing service includes a full range of industry-standard electrical tests tailored precisely to your workspace configurations
- Polarity Testing (for extension leads and supply cables)
- Earth Continuity Testing
- Insulation Resistance Testing
- Operational Testing where applicable
- Earth Leakage Testing following operational checks
Note on Sensitive IT Infrastructure: For sensitive IT and computer equipment, we use specialist low-current “soft testing” methods to protect valuable devices during inspection
The Legal Requirements for PAT Testing
While the law does not specifically state that PAT Testing must be carried out, UK legislation does require all employers, landlords, and organisations to ensure that electrical equipment is maintained in a safe condition.
Key UK Electrical Safety Regulations
Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
Health & Safety at Work Act 1974
Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998
Housing Act 2004
PAT Testing is the most widely recognised and effective method of demonstrating compliance with these responsibilities. These records provide valuable evidence of compliance and help businesses monitor equipment condition, support insurance validation, and plan future testing schedules seamlessly
