Test Procedure

Typically, an engineer will arrive at your premises at a pre-arranged date and time and have all the necessary equipment to carry out a successful PAT Test. All our testing machines are calibrated and have the relevant certificates of validation. Our engineers and qualified PAT testers will work with you systematically throughout your work environment, performing a proper visual inspection of all leads and appliances. They will then test each portable appliance and all leads to establish if they are electrically safe to use. We follow your specific guidelines and if computers, servers, POS hardware need to be running continuously, we will conduct a thorough visual inspection in order to avoid any unnecessary power outages of vital equipment.

If your appliances pass, our PAT testers will place a sticker to confirm the pass date. If failed, we will advise you on what needs to be fixed (if possible) or that the appliance needs to be removed. Our PAT tester can carry out minor repairs free of charge. However, larger repairs may need extra attention.

Booking a PAT test

There is some useful information that would be helpful to know in advance:

• Approximately how many appliances require testing?
• When were they last tested?
• Are there any items of equipment that cannot be unplugged? For example, POS equipment in shops, computer servers or specialist medical equipment?
• What date and time would you prefer our engineer to attend?

After your PAT test

Upon completion of the PAT test, a report will be e-mailed in EXCEL format that gives a clear breakdown of all test results. All appliances tested and inspected are identified by ID numbers, by department and confirming their PASS or FAIL status. We always issue a certificate for your records and discuss with you an agreed next due test date. This can vary according to the nature of the environment and types of appliances, frequency of usage, electrical risk etc. We will work closely with you to maintain full compliance in accordance with H&S guidelines.
