We provide a quality and professional portable Appliance Testing Service in Birmingham the West Midlands and surrounding area to ensure that our customers comply with their legal requirements. Electrical PAT Testing is essential to protect your employees and business, 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 trained Pat testers and qualified to City and Guilds 2377-01/02 It is strongly advisable to have the equipment checked on an annual basis. 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. A label will be applied to every item that passes the Pat testing procedure, this will include the test date, appliance id and the retest date. Items that fail the Pat testing procedure will have a fail label attached and a responsible person will be notified. Documentation The following records will be issued by us and then kept by the company or property receiving the tests: Pat equipment register, pat equipment inspection and test records, pat repair register and pat register of faulty equipment. A pat test certificate will also be issued. The following records will be kept by us: A copy of the pat equipment register and pat equipment inspection and test records
