Our engineers are trained to test all common workplace equipment, including:
Office environments are typically low-risk, but frequency depends on the equipment's use and location.
| Equipment Type | Environment | Recommended Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Stationary IT Equipment | Low-risk, office floor | 12–24 months |
| Portable IT (Laptops) | Moved frequently | 12 months |
| Extension Leads | Under desks, high traffic | 12 months |
| Kitchen Appliances | High use, heat, and moisture | 6–12 months |

We specialise in making workplace PAT testing simple and non-disruptive.

No. New equipment that is CE marked is considered safe from the point of purchase. It should be visually inspected for damage and then included in your next scheduled PAT testing Schedule. Sometimes even though the appliances are new external bodies will request all appliances are tested regardless of age. This is common with insurers, local councils and audits.
This depends on the number of items and ease of access. In an office environment which is very appliance dense an AIO engineer can perform 300-400 tests and inspections a day . We can provide a more accurate time estimate with your quote as it can vary site to site.
For critical equipment like servers and phone systems, we recommend a scheduled shutdown by your IT team. With many business's this is not practical on a annual basis. We are required to do extended visual inspections on equipment that cant be shut down at the time of the testing. The visual aspect of PAT testing is a key part of the testing as up to 90% of unsafe appliances are found during the visual aspect of the testing.

* The invoiced number of appliances will be the number of appliances actually tested or inspected by the engineers. The actual number tested/inspected may be more or less than the quoted number either way the invoice will reflect this. If the actual number falls into a different price bracket as stated on our website the price per appliance and attendance fee charges for that price bracket will automatically be applied to the invoice.
** While performing testing our engineers will perform minor remedials to failed equipment if possible to ensure any disruptions to the business are minimised. Any minor appliance rewires and replacement of damaged plugs will be rectified and applied to the invoice. Any more extensive repairable issues will be reported to the responsible persons of the business and repair price agreed before a repair takes place. If an appliance is unrepairable on site it will be taken out of service.
