Keeping electrical safety in check

Watch our new video on PAT testing

21st April 2016

The second in our new series of videos focuses on our PAT testing service. Portable appliance testing is the in-service inspection and testing of any 240-volt electrical appliance fitted with a 13-amp plug, or any 110-volt appliance, to ensure its ongoing safety and compliance, as set out in the IEE Regulations for the In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment.

Our PAT testing service comprises various tests to measure compliance, including a function test, an insulation resistance test, earth leakage tests and, where applicable, an earth continuity test. We also undertake a thorough visual inspection of the appliance.

Testimonials

We recently engaged with MS Electrical to undertake our PAT testing. The service we received from Mark and his team was professional from the moment we contacted them, and they were so easy to deal with. The engineer on site was efficient and worked around the team to ensure minimum disruption. They certainly are highly recommended. Thank you MS Electrical!
