PAT Testing Birmingham and West Midlands
When PAT Testing Birmingham we carry out various electrical safety checks on all of your portable electrical appliances. The tests that we perform on each appliance is decided by their type and class
In order to fully conform to the Electricity at Work Regulations we must test every portable appliance in your premises. This basically means anything with a plug, whether 110V, 230V, 16A or other. These appliances must be regularly inspected and maintained.
Visual Inspection
Our professional PAT testers will carry out an initial visual inspection of each portable appliances. This inspection will determine whether the plug, lead or casing are in good condition and deemed safe to use. Following passing the visual inspection an electrical test will be carried out
Each appliance will be given a green or red sticker to indicate whether it has passed or failed the test. If it has passed, the green label will show the test date, the appliance ID number and the engineers initials.
Inspecting the Plug
When checking the plug, our PAT tester will check that the correct fuse is being used, all connections are tightly and correctly attached.
The plug itself must be in good condition with no signs of cracks or damage and must conform to the current BS Standards.
Inspecting the Casing of the Appliance
Equipment can become damaged over time without you even knowing. Our professional PAT testers will inspect the outer casing for any damage like cracks and holes or signs of overheating and wear.
Earth Continuity Test
This test measures the resistance of the earth between the earth pin and the earth point of the appliance to determine the quality of the earth connection.
Class 1 appliances are checked.
Insulation Resistance
This test checks that the insulation provided by the casing of the appliance is sufficient for safety.
All appliance classes are tested
Microwave Leakage Detection
A leaking microwave can be extremely dangerous as they can emit high levels of radiation which can seriously affect your health and immune systems and in some case lead to cancer.
Our leakage detection equipment is CE approved to measure levels of radiation emitting from the microwave during operation.
The test procedure also includes an Operational Safety Cut Off test. Upon completion of the test a microwave leakage detection sticker is placed on the microwave and all results are recorded and presented with the PAT Testing results. This is an optional test and prices will be stated in your quotation.
