See Legal
Requirements for recommended intervals between testing.
We use computerised test instruments
to carry out Portable Appliance Testing (PAT electrical
testing). Not only do these instruments have the
ability to gather test results in a downloadable software
format, but they have also been specifically designed to safely
carry out testing of sensitive "IT"
equipment without causing any damage to the electronics within.
These test instruments are extremely accurate, fast and reliable.
This means highly competitive pricing, less time on-site and
no hand written test results.
We have a huge portfolio of
clients who already engage the services of ETS to undertake
routine portable appliance testing. We carry out testing at
many thousands of sites on a national basis.
As such, our PAT test engineers
have a great deal of experience of working within most environments.
They are able to carry out testing quickly and efficiently
whilst causing the absolute minimum of disruption to the daily
activities of your staff and business.
We will carry out minor remedial
work at the time of test, such as change incorrectly sized
fuses, remake, or replace damaged plug-tops if required. Also,
having agreed appropriate test intervals with you, we will
even remind you before your next test becomes due.
Having completed testing, the
results are presented in a high quality report which includes
the following: -
- Asset Register (inventory of all items
tested, together with locations)
- Test Data (details and result readings
of all tests carried out on each appliance)
- Failure Sheet (a listing of any failures
encountered showing reason for failure)
- Failure Sheet (a duplicate handed to the site representative
at time of test)
A portable appliance is classed as any piece
of equipment which can be connected to the common supply by
means of a plug and socket arrangement (be it 13-amp or any
other). It must be maintained to be safe at all times. Testing
of portable appliances is also referred to as plug testing,
pat testing, P.A.T. or simply PAT.
