What Does PAT Testing Involve?
Upon approval of our proposed testing methodology, we will schedule a visit to your premises at a convenient time. Our team strives to complete the tests efficiently, minimising disruption to your operations. A typical PAT test can include approximately thirty tests within an hour, ensuring a thorough evaluation of your equipment.
Are PAT Tests Mandatory?
While PAT testing itself is not a legal requirement, the safety of electrical equipment is mandated under UK law. PAT testing helps to reduce the risk of electrical accidents by ensuring that all appliances are safe to use. Our PAT tests include thorough visual inspections, maintenance, testing, and calibration using specialised tools and software. Additional tests such as high voltage and temperature testing can also be conducted as needed.
Why Are PAT Tests Important?
PAT tests are essential because they provide a quick and cost-effective way to verify the safety and functionality of your electrical appliances. These tests help prevent electrical hazards and ensure that appliances operate at their best. By having PAT testing conducted by our experienced team, you can maintain high standards of safety and compliance in your workplace.
Will I Need A PAT Test Certificate?
Although PAT testing is not legally required, having documentation of the tests can be beneficial. Our team provides clear and detailed documentation of all tests performed, serving as a record of compliance and safety. If you have any questions about the PAT test results or documentation, our team is available to provide clarification.
How Often Should PAT Testing Be Done?
There are no strict guidelines on the frequency of PAT testing, but annual tests are commonly recommended. At UK Safety Group, we make scheduling a PAT test simple and convenient.
