Questions
What is Electrical Equipment Testing (EET)?
EET is the updated term for Portable Appliance Testing, covering all electrical equipment including fixed and stationary appliances. We test insulation resistance, earth continuity, and other safety parameters.
Is PAT testing a legal requirement?
While not explicitly mandated, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 requires maintaining electrical safety. Our testing helps meet these obligations and insurance requirements.
How often should PAT testing be done?
Frequency depends on equipment type and environment. Most commercial premises require annual testing, while high-risk areas like kitchens may need six-monthly checks.
Do you test fixed appliances?
Yes, our service includes fixed appliances like ovens and microwaves. The updated EET terminology clarifies coverage of all electrical equipment, not just portable items.
What areas do you cover?
We serve Aberdeenshire, Moray, Highland, Banffshire, and surrounding areas including Aberdeen, Inverness, and Stonehaven. See our full service map for postcode details.
What qualifications do your engineers hold?
All engineers hold City & Guilds 2377-200 certification for electrical testing and undergo Disclosure Scotland CRB checks. We carry £2 million public liability insurance.
