Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing) in the South West UK
Ensuring electrical safety within commercial properties is a legal and ethical responsibility. Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing) is a crucial compliance requirement that protects businesses, employees, and customers from potential electrical hazards.
At Countrywide Electrical Testing Ltd, we specialize in delivering expert PAT Testing services across the Southwest UK, helping businesses maintain a legally compliant, energy-efficient, and hazard-free workplace.
What is PAT Testing?
PAT Testing involves a thorough inspection of electrical appliances to verify their safety and functionality. This process helps identify faults such as damaged cables, exposed wires, or faulty insulation, reducing the risk of electric shocks, fires, and equipment failures.
UK regulations, including the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, require businesses to ensure that all electrical equipment is maintained in a safe condition. PAT Testing is the best way to demonstrate compliance and protect people on your premises.
