DG Appliance (PAT)Testing Services Cyprus

We provide property owners in Cyprus with peace of mind that all portable appliances in their property are electrically safe to use. We now cover all of Cyprus areas include:Paphos, Coral Bay, Larnaca, Limassol and Nicosia.

This is done by an electrical portable appliance safety check known as Pat testing. We carry out all portable appliance tests in accordance with current guidelines as laid out in the IEE Code of Practise for in-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment. Service engineers are qualified to city and guilds 2377-01/02, and all tests will be done by using a portable appliance test instrument.

It is strongly advisable to have the equipment checked before the start of each letting season and on an annual basis thereafter. On completion of the appliance testing all owners will receive all the relevant documentation by email and a Pat test certificate will be issued.

Anyone who lets residential accommodation (such as Villas, apartments, houses, flats and bedsits, holiday homes, caravans and boats) as a business activity is required by UK law to ensure the equipment they supply as part of the tenancy is safe.

Landlords

The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994 requires that all mains electrical equipment (cookers, washing machines, kettles, toasters, food mixers etc), new or second-hand, supplied with the accommodation must be safe. Landlords therefore need to regularly maintain the electrical equipment they supply to ensure it is safe.

landlords therefore need to maintain the electrical equipment they supply, taking reasonably practicable precautions to ensure the appliances are safe. Pat testing which is a combination of visual inspection and formal inspection and testing by a competent person provide the best method of achieving this.

Without a programme of planned Pat portable Appliance testing and maintenance, you could be legally liable for damages resulting from untested appliances.

The supply of goods occurs at the time of the tenancy contract. It is therefore essential that the property is checked prior to the tenancy to ensure that all goods supplied are in a safe condition. A record should be made of the goods supplied as part of the tenancy agreement and of checks made on those goods. The record should indicate who carried out the checks and when they did it.
