Product Information

PAT Testing

Stockcode:

Portable Appliance Testing, or PAT testing as it is often called, is the systematic checking of any portable appliance which has an electric plug. This testing involves visual checks, and combined inspection and testing using a PAT test meter in order to meet the requirements of the Electricity at Work Regulations Act 1974.

PAT testing doesn’t just include truly portable equipment; the scope is wider.  It includes everything that is attached to the electrical wiring system. A drinks machine, for example, is classed as a ‘portable appliance’ as is a freezer cabinet or photocopier. The groupings used by the IET (the Institute of Engineering & Technology) include ‘stationary’, ‘IT’, ‘moveable’, ‘portable’ and ‘handheld’ – all are dealt with by PAT.

This broad bracket of included equipment means that PAT testing usually concerns large numbers of individual tests – often thousands. In an office, for example, it’s typical for each and every worker to have approximately seven portable appliances around them; from computers, to printers, faxes and fans. A computer, for example, can mean three or four tests and many people mistakenly count this as just one.  Plus the workers themselves can have an impact on the electrical safety around them – which we’ll discuss later.

About us

Calbarrie Compliance Services Ltd is the UK’s leading provider of electrical compliance services, operating in the Health and Safety and Compliance sectors since 1970.

Currently, Calbarrie's management team brings over 100 years of combined experience in safety and compliance, supported by more than 100 qualified engineers located across the UK. Calbarrie exclusively employs its own staff and does not rely on sub-contractors or service delivery partners.

Our Services Include:

PAT Testing

PAT involves the thorough inspection of any equipment with a plug. Our certified engineers carefully test the portable appliances in your workplace and provide a comprehensive report within hours of completing the tests.

Fixed Installation Testing
Periodic Fixed Installation Testing involves inspecting the electrical circuits and systems that distribute power throughout a building. This includes all the permanent wiring, whether the building is commercial, industrial, or residential.

Electrical Remedial Works
After electrical safety testing is completed, any necessary remedial repairs must be carried out. The risk arises when a fault is identified during testing, but the issue remains unresolved, potentially leading to an accident. Calbarrie stands out by not only identifying faults but also providing an Electrical Remedial Repairs service to address them promptly.

Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging is an efficient method for detecting electrical faults and failures. Loose connections, which can cause heat buildup and potentially lead to fires, are easily identified using thermal imaging cameras operated by our skilled engineers.

Emergency Light Testing
Calbarrie Compliance Services provides a range of tests and assessments to ensure our clients meet the legislative requirements and standards for emergency lighting testing.

Fire Alarm Testing
Neglecting to properly maintain your alarm system can lead to non-compliance with Health and Safety regulations, Local Authority guidelines, and National and European laws, while also potentially voiding your insurance coverage.

Our testing adheres to BS 7671:2018 18th Edition and Guidance Note 3 of the IET Wiring Regulations. We are accredited by NICEIC, CHAS, and Safe Contractor, and are also members of Constructionline and RoSPA.

Calbarrie is renowned for its commitment to best practices and innovation within the industry. Striving for the highest standards in compliance and safety, we have earned accreditations in ISO9001, ISO14001, and ISO45001. Calbarrie is a leader in health and safety, quality, and environmental standards.
