WHAT IS PORTABLE APPLIANCE TESTING

PAT testing involves the individual testing of every portable appliance on a business premises.

On arriving at your site the I will discuss with you when offices and rooms are available, to ensure that there is minimum disruption to your working day.

I will move from room to room locating all electrical appliances. Each appliance will be unplugged, tested, and then plugged in again.

Every appliance is given a thorough visual and integrity inspection:

• the appliance case is visually checked for electrical integrity

• the cable is inspected along its whole length for any signs of damage

• the plug is inspected and the cover is removed so the wiring can be checked

• the fuse is checked to ensure the correct rating is being used .

On successful completion of the visual inspection the appliance is then connected to a Seaward PRIMTEST 300 PAT tester. The PRIMETEST 300 performs insulation, earth bond and touch current tests. It automatically logs the results to enable a comprehensive report to be uploaded by Bluetooth to my pc to generate a detailed report.

If a damaged plug is found, I will rewire and if necessary provide a new fuse or plug this is included in the price. 

Each appliance will be given a unique reference bar code and confirmation of pass/fail.

When i have finished I will inform you of any problems that I have found so you can rectify or replace the equipment.

On receipt of payment  you will be provided with a certificate and a report detailing every appliance that has been tested. This will be on paper or cd rom wichever you prefer.
