Portable Appliance Testing (PAT Testing)

PAT Testing, also known as Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) or Electrical Equipment Testing (EET), is the inspection and testing of electrical equipment to help identify faults, damage and potential safety issues. At Earth Neutral Voltage, we believe PAT Testing should be carried out thoroughly and professionally, not simply treated as a box-ticking exercise.

Our PAT Testing Service Includes:

Visual Inspections

Checking for any damage that may cause an appliance to become faulty. Visual checks are a vital part of the inspection process as most fails happen at this stage.

Electrical Testing Checks

The testing procedure helps us pick up on damage that is not visible to the eye. These tests include Earth continuity testing, Insulation resistance testing and Polarity testing.

Appliance Labelling

Following inspection and testing, appliances are labelled to provide clear identification, it's test status and traceability. This helps businesses manage their electrical equipment.

Asset Identification

Every appliance is given a unique asset ID and recorded within the testing report. This helps businesses keep accurate records, track individual items and identify equipment.

Detailed Test Reports

Our detailed test reports provide a clear record of every appliance tested, including the appliance type, manufacturer, model number, asset ID and test result.

Digital Certification

Once testing has been completed, you will receive a digital copy of your PAT Testing certificate and detailed test report in PDF format. Providing a clear record of all inspected equipment.

Failed Photographic Evidence

Photographs of failed equipment are included where appropriate, providing clear visual evidence of any damage, defects or safety concerns identified during the inspection.

Advisory & Recommendations

Where potential concerns are identified during testing, we provide professional advisories and recommendations to help improve electrical safety and to reduce risks.

Microwave Leakage Testing

Microwave ovens used within workplaces should be regularly inspected and tested to help identify physical damage and potential leakage issues. Whilst microwave leakage testing is not a legal requirement, it is considered good practice and can help ensure equipment remains safe to use.

As part of our service, microwave leakage testing is automatically included within all quotations. If you would prefer not to have your microwaves tested, please let us know when booking your inspection.

Our Microwave Testing Service Includes:

Visual Inspections

Checking for any damage that may cause the microwave to become unsafe to use. Visual checks are a vital part of the inspection process as most fails happen at this stage.

Electrical Testing Checks

We then run electrical tests on the microwave to ensure it is electrically safe to use.The testing procedure helps us pick up on damage that is not visible to the eye.

Radiation Leakage Testing

Leakage testing helps identify any microwave radiation escaping from the door seal, viewing window, hinges or ventilation grills, helping ensure the appliance remains safe to use.

Result Recording

Following testing, all microwave leakage test results are recorded and included within your microwave leakage test report, providing a clear record of the inspection and findings.

Testing Is Ideal For:
Offices | Schools | Care Homes | Healthcare Facilities | Restaurants & Cafes | Commercial Premises

Equipment such as hand dryers, wall-mounted heaters and other permanently connected appliances often fall outside routine PAT Testing programmes.
