What is Portable Appliance Testing?
Portable Appliance Testing, which is also called PAT Testing, is a set of thorough checks that should be done on a wide range of business electronics. It involves looking at the devices and testing them electronically to make sure they work as intended and as required by safety rules.
Our team of PAT Testing Contractors is qualified to do these tests and tell you if all of your appliances are up to par or where changes need to be made.
Portable Appliance Testing Regulations
At the time this was written, the rules said that all employers with portable electronic devices in the workplace had to have them tested to make sure they worked well and didn’t pose a risk of damage or harm. This includes the duty to take care of portable appliances and keep them in good shape.
With PAT testing, any PAT testing contractor with experience or knowledge can check that machines are working the way they are supposed to. Even though you are not legally required to do a PAT test, you are legally required to make sure that your products are safe to use. If they are not safe to use, you could be sued.
Our Expert Portable Appliance Testing Procedure
One of our PAT testing contractors will work with you to figure out which items need to be tested to make sure you’re keeping them in the conditions required by law. Then, they will look at each item and any cords, plugs, or leads that go with it to see if there are any signs of damage.
After that, our PAT testing workers will send test signals into the cables and appliances to make sure they are working correctly. We asses three different kinds of portable devices:
Class One
This group includes things like vending machines, floor printers, electric heaters, and more that get their safety from the ground. This is usually the group that is most likely to be dangerous.
Class Two
This category includes things like lawnmowers, tools, TVs, and more that are made with insulation already built in and don’t need the earth to protect them.
Class Three
This group is for low-voltage appliances, like laptops, torches, and the like. These are usually the safest kind of portable appliances, but their leads should still be PAT tested.
Once our PAT testing workers have finished the testing process, we will give you a certificate saying that your equipment is safe. This will show, if needed, that your company has taken the steps needed to make sure all its portable appliances are safe.

Why do commercial buildings use LED lights?
LEDs last significantly longer than conventional light bulbs and don't produce as much heat. You can use commercial LED lighting in your office or parking lot to save money on your utility bill and improve light quality. Traditional illumination applications are less bright and have lower light quality than LED bulbs.
What is the purpose of industrial lighting?
At first, you may not think that commercial illumination has much more to offer than just practical value. It's not simply the main purpose - saving money and energy - but also allows your workers to work productively in a safe and effective manner.
