Your Insurance May Be Invalid Without PAT Testing! An ever increasing number of insurance companies now also stipulate that PAT Testing is to be carried out as a condition of their policy. Many insurance policies are stipulating the requirement of frequent PAT testing to be carried out by a competent person(s) in order for the terms of the building insurance policy to remain valid. If you are unfortunate enough to be the victim of fire, a failure to prove PAT testing has been carried out may mean your insurance cover is invalid. Your certificate is backed up in our cloud.

All testing is carried out in compliance with the IEE Code of Practice for in service inspection and testing of electrical equipment. PAT testing is carried out to ensure that all electrical equipment is safe to use. Business owners and landlords must get any equipment on their premises PAT tested so that they can be confident their employees or tenants are not at risk of harm. What does a PAT test involve? A PAT test can be carried out on all electrical equipment and involves both visual checks and electrical tests. Visual checks include checking for frayed wires, cracked casing, or damaged plugs. If anything is flagged as being dangerous it can then be repaired or replaced. A PAT tester machine will be used to carry out further checks, such as earth continuity, lead polarity, and insulation resistance. More advanced tests can then be completed if necessary, but these quick and easy options should be enough for most business owners and landlords. A full report stating every appliance tested and their results will be issued, along with the certificate, either in paper format or as a PDF attachment within an email.
