OUR PAT TEST INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:
Visual Inspection
A Visual Inspection test is a simple but important examination of an electrical appliance or equipment to identify any visible signs of damage, wear, or other issues. It involves visually inspecting the item to check for any visible problems that could affect its safety or performance.
Insulation Resistance Test
An Insulation Resistance test is a type of electrical test that checks the quality of insulation in an electrical appliance or equipment. Insulation is a protective barrier that prevents electrical current from flowing where it shouldn’t, such as through the outer casing or into other conductive parts.
Earth Continuity Test
An Earth Continuity test is a type of electrical test that checks the integrity of the earth connection in an electrical appliance or equipment. The earth connection is an important safety feature that provides a path for electrical current to flow safely to the ground in the event of a fault.
Polarity Test
A Polarity test is a type of electrical test that checks the correct wiring connections in an electrical appliance or equipment. It ensures that the live, neutral, and earth wires are properly aligned and connected as intended.
Repairs and Replacements
If possible, we will repair or replace something that is damaged, faulty, or no longer functioning correctly. As an additional quote.
Snag List
The snag list generated during a PAT check helps ensure that identified issues are addressed promptly and that the appliances meet the required safety standards. It serves as a valuable tool for tracking and managing the necessary repairs or corrective actions to ensure electrical safety.
Compliance Certificate
The compliance certificate provides documentation that the necessary safety checks have been performed, and the appliances are in a safe and compliant condition. It demonstrates that the owner has fulfilled their legal obligations regarding electrical safety and can be used as proof of compliance during audits, inspections, or insurance purposes.
