PAT Testing For Factories

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the easiest way to ensure your factory’s electrical equipment is safe.

PAT testing is the process of regularly testing electrical equipment (usually once a year), to ensure everything is in good working order. A competent and trained person will conduct a formal visual inspection and a manual examination, using a portable appliance tester device.

Once the engineer is happy everything is working as it should, they will issue a PAT certificate as well as stickers on the tested appliances, which detail when the test was completed and when the appliance should be retested.
