PAT - Portable Appliance Testing


PAT Testing, or Portable Appliance Testing, must be undertaken in order for companies to fully comply with the Electricity At Work Regulations.

Testing is required because, during everyday use, electrical appliances can become worn or damaged.

We are fully qualified inspectors and using the best industry standard equipment we can ensure that your appliances are as safe as possible.

All testing is carried out in accordance with The Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEE) code of practice, with full public liability insurance.

All our PAT testing equipment is calibrated on a regular basis to ensure that we are providing you with the most accurate test possible.

Your appliances and leads will be tested for a variety of faults, and given a pass or fail sticker as appropriate.

A certificate of testing and test schedule is provided for your business showing the results of all tests. For your convenience, this can also be reproduced on CD-ROM.

We will effect minor repairs at the time of testing; for example an incorrect rated fuse or damaged plug, in order that the equipment is safe to use and can be passed. More significant faults or serious damage will be reported to the business manager.

We offer competitive prices for PAT testing.

What Is A Portable Appliance?

Quite simply a portable appliance is any piece of electrical equipment that can be moved from area to area and reconnected to the electrical supply via a plug and socket system.

Why Do We Need PAT Testing?

The most important reasons for carrying out Portable Appliance Testing are:

To comply with the Electricity At Work Regulations
Risk of fire and injury due to faulty electrical equipment is minimised
Insurance companies cannot dispute claims for damage through fire because of insufficient
    electrical maintenance
The ISO 9000 Quality Assurance Standard requires all companies to comply with the Health
    and Safety requirements, portable appliance testing as provided by London Electrical Inspection & Testing, is
    required to comply with this standard.

How Often Is PAT Testing Carried Out?

This depends on the workplace environment and the equipment to be tested. London Electrical Inspection & Testing, are more than happy to assist companies in choosing the correct periods between testing; contact us at anytime.

What Is The Testing Procedure?

When carrying out Portable Appliance Testing Paphos Electrician, will perform a number of tests on each appliance such as:

Full visual inspection
Insulation test
Earth continuity test
Earth leakage test

A certificate is then produced for your files indicating the results of the individual tests. This can be done either in hard copy, disk or email. Each item of electrical equipment is given an individual number and identified with a sticker. This will ensure that the item can be tracked and provides a clear indication of its pass / fail status.
