Services
PAT Testing
Our comprehensive Portable Appliance Testing follows IEE Code of Practice standards, combining visual inspections with electrical testing for all appliance classifications. We identify safety issues through formal checks and calibrated equipment, ensuring compliance with Health & Safety legislation. Clients receive clear pass/fail labelling and detailed documentation for audit purposes.
Microwave Leakage Testing
Specialised microwave leakage testing ensures compliance with safety standards using calibrated measurement equipment. We test for electromagnetic radiation emissions beyond safe thresholds, providing certification for commercial kitchen appliances. This service includes documentation of test results and remedial action recommendations when necessary.
Appliance Classification
We identify and categorise electrical appliances into Class 0, 01, 1, 2, and 3 classifications during testing. This process determines appropriate testing procedures and safety requirements, particularly for earth-dependent Class 1 equipment versus double-insulated Class 2 devices. Accurate classification ensures regulatory compliance.
Labelling Systems
Our colour-coded labelling system clearly identifies test outcomes with unique asset numbers, test dates, and re-test schedules. Green pass labels indicate compliance while red failed labels require remedial action. This system enables efficient asset management and tracking for business owners.
Documentation Packages
We provide comprehensive documentation wallets containing PAT certificates, asset registers, and detailed test results. Digital copies are available via email or CD, with physical records maintained for 10 years. This ensures businesses maintain audit-ready compliance documentation at all times.
