Our comprehensive PAT testing ensures electrical safety compliance for all mains-powered equipment. We conduct earth continuity tests, insulation resistance checks, and operational assessments following IEE Code of Practice guidelines. Each appliance receives pass/fail labelling with detailed logs maintained for audit purposes.
