Where an online quote has been provided with an accurate appliance/equipment count then a site visit is rarely required. Where the quantity of appliances/equipment requiring testing is found to exceed the quoted level the client will be notified of any additional appliance/equipment quantities and costs.

We will arrange with the client mutually convenient testing periods based on quantity, appliance types, the site size and environment etc.. For example it may be more convenient to perform IT Equipment or office equipment tests during out of office hours to reduce any disruption to employees - On-Site Testing can be arranged 24 Hours, 7 Days per Week (subject to availability) with NO extra charges for evening or weekend testing.

A confirmation letter via either email or post will be sent confirming your on-site Portable Appliance Testing appointment. Any changes in situation should be notified to us as soon as possible, for example to reschedule or additional testing requirements.

The On-Site testing will take place using the very latest professional portable appliance testing equipment, in accordance with the IEE Code of Practice for Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment. The testing equipment we use is computer controlled and very rapid in it's testing methods, reducing the time taken per appliance or piece of equipment. The expected quantity of items tested varies due to the circumstances, tests required, any faults found and overall accessibility of the equipment etc. The approximate quantity is 10-20 appliances per hour.

All appliances and equipment are inspected as detailed in the Portable Appliance Testing section and are labelled accordingly. Faults found where possible will be rectified, incorrect fuses replaced, plugs replaced or rewired etc..

In certain situations access to the equipment is inhibited due to obstructions or location etc.. In order for such items to be tested it will be necessary for clients to arrange access to the equipment, cable, plug and the means of isolation. This may involve emptying and moving equipment in order to facilitate testing. For example, bottle fridges behind bars may need emptying and making accessible in advance of testing. All steps should be taken by the clients to identify, locate and make available all appliances for inspection and testing.

Any previous Portable Appliance Testing records should ideally be available for reference and to aid location of equipment where necessary.

Once your on-site inspection and testing is complete we will prepare your Portfolio of Portable Appliance Testing, this contains:

Your Portfolio of Portable Appliance Testing containing the Appliance Register, Pass/Fail Reports and Certificate of Portable Appliance Testing will be sent after the data being processed and reports compiled. This will normally be within 2 working days along with the Invoice for non-prepaid Portable Appliance Testing.

Copies of all Appliance Registers and Test Results are kept for reference purposes and to enable replacement/forwarding of documents upon request by the client.
