PAT Testing in Croydon

Our Simple Seven-Step Process

1. Visual Inspection: A thorough visual inspection of each electrical appliance is conducted to check for any visible damage, defects, loose connections, or signs of wear and tear.
2. Earth Continuity Testing: Our electrician will measure the electrical continuity between the earth connection and exposed conductive parts of the appliance to ensure a secure earth connection.
3. Insulation Resistance Testing: Using the latest PAT testing equipment, our electrician will carry out insulation resistance testing to measure the resistance between the live, neutral, and earth conductors, which confirms that the insulation is intact and can prevent electrical leakage or short circuits.
4. Earth Leakage Testing: Our PAT testing Croydon also includes earth leakage testing, which determines if there is any current leakage from the appliance.
5. Functional Testing: Functional testing involves checking the operation and functionality of the appliance. The tester may activate switches, controls, and safety features to ensure they function correctly.
6. Testing Documentation and Reporting: The local PAT testing service provider prepares detailed testing reports and documentation. These documents typically include the appliance’s identification details, test results, testing dates, and any identified issues or recommendations.
7. Appliance Labelling: After the testing, appliances are labelled with a sticker or tag indicating their test status, such as “Passed” or “Tested.” The label typically includes the testing date and the due date for the next testing cycle.
