PAT testing or Portable Appliance Testing is an inspection and testing of all electrical appliances on a property. UK standards including the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require that all appliances undergo regular PAT testing to ensure safety, compliance and performance. By law, all business owners and employers have a duty of care to ensure that all electrical systems and appliances are maintained to prevent hazards.
Our team will carry out a visual inspection of your electrical systems and fixtures such as plugs, cables, casings and more. This is carried out to identify any hazards or defects.
We will complete a range of electrical tests to ensure the safety of your appliances including Earth Continuity Tests, Insulation Resistance Tests and Polarity Tests.
Once any issues have been addressed or if no remedial action was recommended, we will provide you with a certificate to demonstrate safety and compliance.
If a fire or emergency occurs that causes the power supply and normal illumination to fail on your premises, emergency lighting is designed to provide reliable visibility. Emergency lighting highlights safe exit routes and more to ensure all building occupants can safely evacuate.
At PST Group, we provide emergency light testing for commercial and residential clients to ensure the emergency light batteries are functioning and that they will last the duration of the test (usually 3 hours). We will also check the general condition of the light fittings to ensure they are up to standard.
Emergency light testing is a legal requirement under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO), with duty holders, building owners, employers, and Responsible Persons (RPs) responsible for ensuring it’s compliant. British Standards like BS EN 50172:2004 and BS 5266-8:2004 also require regular testing to ensure compliance and safety. These standards set out the minimum requirements for testing and maintaining emergency lighting systems, and failure to comply can result in legal consequences, including fines.
At PST Group, we provide PAT testing and emergency light testing for a range of clients, including commercial and residential premises. Failing to conduct tests could lead to non-compliance and pose hazards in the workplace. Contact us today for your FREE consultation and stay compliant.
