RHSS Limited PAT testing services

Visual Inspection

Firstly we carry out a visual inspection of the appliance checking:

• The Flex. We check to see it is in good condition and is free from cuts, fraying or damage
• The Plug. We check that the cable is tight and secure and that there are no signs of overheating and it is free from cracks or damage. We also check that the plug has been wired correctly and the terminal screws are tight
• Socket Outlet. Are there any signs of overheating? Is it free from cracks and damage?
• The Appliance. We check the appliance for signs of cracks and damage to the casing

Testing the Appliance

Then, subject to the appliance passing the visual inspection, we connect it to a specialist PAT Tester which checks:

1. Earth Continuity
2. Insulation Resistance
3. Polarity – Power leads only

The Results

Each appliance is then labelled appropriately with a PASS/FAIL vinyl label and the results are logged

Testing IT Equipment
Due to the delicate nature of IT equipment, a reduced current is applied to these appliances.
A visual inspection only will be carried out on servers and they will NOT be turned off

Any appliance that fails the test will be brought to your attention immediately

For your convenience, and to avoid any possible disruption
to the office, the testing can be done out of office hours
for NO extra charge

Anyone who lets residential accommodation as a business activity is required by law to ensure that the electrical equipment they supply as part of the tenancy is safe

The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994 requires that all mains electrical equipment (cookers, washing machines, fridges, kettles etc) supplied in rented accommodation must be safe

The ‘supply’ of the electrical equipment occurs at the time of the tenancy contract. It is, therefore, essential that PAT Testing is carried out prior to the start of the tenancy

A report, detailing the equipment checked, the tests carried out and the results will be sent to you for your records
