Services
PAT Testing
Our PAT Testing service ensures electrical appliances meet UK safety standards through visual inspections and electrical tests. Qualified engineers use certified equipment to identify faults, reducing fire and injury risks. Clients receive detailed records for insurance compliance, with services tailored to offices, schools, and industrial sites nationwide.
Microwave Leakage Detection
This service detects microwave leakage using CE-approved devices, measuring emissions in milliwatts per square centimetre. We test operational safety cut-offs and apply MLD stickers to appliances. Results are documented alongside standard PAT testing records for comprehensive compliance.
Visual Inspection
Visual inspections examine plugs, cables, and casings for damage, incorrect fuses, or exposed wires. This initial step identifies hazards before electrical testing, ensuring appliances meet BS 1363 standards and reducing risks of electric shock or equipment failure.
Electrical Testing
Electrical testing includes earth bond and insulation resistance tests to verify appliance safety. Conducted in line with IEE Code of Practice, this process identifies defective insulation or earthing issues, ensuring compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
Compliance Certification
We provide certification for tested appliances, documenting compliance with Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requirements. These records help businesses maintain insurance validity and demonstrate adherence to Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
