Yes, as these will enable you to carry out and record regular checks of your emergency lights. We can post them to you directly at the price of £15.00 (plus VAT).

Every 12 months.

Depending on how your emergency lights have been installed it is very possible your main lights may switch off when the emergency lights are turned on for the 3 hour duration test. If this is the case it is best to ensure you have sufficient natural lighting or schedule testing for a time that suits your requirements.

Emergency Lighting testing will be carried out between approximately 3–4 hours, with the duration test lasting 3 hours. Following this the premises will need to be vacant for 24 hours or adequate battery operated light sources provided for all those living/working in the premises whilst the emergency lights recharge.

To properly carry out a PAT test equipment must be unplugged in order for the plug top to be opened and inspected. The insulation and earth continuity tests will require the appliance to be plugged into our electronic PAT testers.

Our PAT Testing Engineers cause minimal disruption to most working environments. Testing occurs one item at a time which results in very little down time for equipment and staff.

All PAT Test Certificates are emailed in a pdf format. Hard copies are available upon request.

IEC leads (kettle leads), detachable power leads and extension leads must be treated as separate items as they are in many cases interchangeable. It is more common for the fault to lie in these leads as they incur the most wear and tear.

We accept all major credit cards and debit cards. Payment can also be made by cheque or BACS and is required within 15 days of invoice.

PAT Test Certificates are emailed out within one business day of payment (excluding weekends and bank holidays unless previously requested).

The answer is yes. Large items are still considered portable appliances if the item has a plug top.

Our PAT Testing Engineers will test anywhere from 25-35 items per hour. The accessibility of the appliance and its plug top will often determine the speed of the tests.

Although it is not mandatory for testing, if you have had an EICR previously or any electrical installations / remedial work the documents for these can be vital in the testing process as they will enable your electrician to better understand your electrics, ultimately saving you time and money should investigations otherwise be required.
