Since 1992, Electrical Testing Surveyors (ETS) has provided specialist PAT Testing services for commercial, industrial and multi-site organisations throughout the UK and Ireland.

Why Is PAT Testing Important?
Electrical equipment can become damaged through everyday use, improper storage, accidental impact or normal wear and tear. Faulty appliances may present a risk of electric shock, burns or fire if defects go undetected.
Regular Portable Appliance Testing helps organisations:
- Maintain electrical safety
- Identify damaged or defective equipment
- Reduce the risk of electric shock and fire
- Support workplace health and safety procedures
- Maintain accurate asset records
- Demonstrate a proactive approach to risk management
- Provide assurance for employees, visitors and contractors
The objective of PAT Testing is simple: to help ensure electrical equipment remains safe for continued use.
