PAT Testing

For PAT testing services you can really rely upon, make sure you choose ADRS Ltd. Unlike some contractors, our inspection and testing procedures are always carried out thoroughly, professionally and in strict accordance with the Institute of Electrical Engineer’s Code of Practice. After testing is complete, we’ll provide all the necessary certification for your records. PAT testing is required by law and is critical if you’re to guarantee the safety of your employees. The HSE currently estimates that around 2000 fires a year are caused by faulty leads and appliances – problems that would almost certainly be picked up in a routine PAT test. 

Stay safe. Stay legal. Speak to the team at ADRS. 

PAT Test Equipment

Only electrical engineers who have been trained to the required standard may carry out a PAT test, and those who have been will require the right equipment for the job. That’s why we now offer a range of electrical test and inspection devices designed to make PAT testing as quick and convenient as possible. You can find all of them listed on the ADRS website with full details, specifications and prices.

PAT FAQs

What is a Portable Appliance?

A Portable Appliance refers to almost any piece of electrical equipment that needs to be plugged into an electric mains socket in order to function. PCs, printers, photocopiers, fax machines, fans, lamps, toasters, fridges and kettles are all examples of Portable Appliances. It also refers to equipment that is connected to the ring main via a spur, such as heated towel rails, water heaters and air-conditioning units. If you’re unsure whether your equipment requires a PAT, just give us a call on 01323 468221. For more FAQs, visit ADRS online.
