Services
PAT Testing
Our comprehensive PAT testing service ensures all portable electrical appliances meet safety standards. Qualified technicians perform systematic inspections and electronic testing to identify potential hazards. This legal compliance service helps businesses maintain safe working environments while protecting insurance validity.
Visual Assessment
Initial visual inspections identify obvious damage to appliances, cables, and plugs. Technicians check for missing components and visible wear that could compromise safety. This crucial first step detects potential issues before electronic testing begins.
Earth Bonding Assessment
We test protective earth connections in Class 1 and some Class 3 devices. This assessment ensures equipment casings won't develop dangerous voltages during faults. The test verifies continuity between earth pins and appliance frames.
Insulation Resistance Assessment
This test confirms insulation integrity in electrical devices. Technicians measure resistance to identify current leakage that could cause power loss or safety hazards. The assessment applies to all appliance classes except electronic equipment.
Polarity Test
We verify correct wiring configurations in extension leads. This test ensures flex cables maintain proper polarity to prevent equipment damage from wiring faults. The assessment checks electrical continuity across circuits.
