Fully insured & fully qualified Commercial & Domestic PAT Testing for hotels, construction sites, offices, Air B & B listings and house rentals. The most important part of any commercial or domestic PAT Testing process, regardless of what class of appliance it may fall into, is the comprehensive visual inspection. A visual inspection involves the undertaking of a detailed examination by a registered technician of an appliance for any signs of cosmetic damage. This initial process includes detailed observation of any cracks that may be on the casing or various other parts of an electrical device. Any fault, however slight it may initially appear upon primary visual inspection, could potentially expose the end user to an electric shock. This unfortunate and usually completely avoidable situation can also occur in the event of potential misuse of an appliance, the age of a device or even power surges. The plug and flex are carefully examined while checking for any exposed wiring in the plug or flex, kinks or breaks in the flex or damage to the plug itself. Any potential faults within an appliance can often result in the item ceasing to operate safely and effectively if these issues were not properly resolved in a timely manner. This process is completed and signed off on by one of our qualified engineers even before the appliance is plugged into the PAT testing machine for the next testing stage. If an appliance fails any of the standard visual appliance inspections, further testing cannot be performed as the item will fail the PAT testing inspection straight away.

In situations of where an item that has undergone the initial PAT testing process fails a visual inspection, a "FAIL" tag will then immediately be added to the item and the Asset ID is registered within the PAT Testing machine. Details of any failed appliances will always be included in an in-depth report that is created for the client. PAT Testing Dublin will then recommend a safe course of action when dealing with a failed appliance. In many cases, the item may often be able to be successfully repaired by a registered and qualified engineer but sometimes a repair would not be economically viable due to the original cost of the item. In cases like this, we would always recommend that the item is quickly withdrawn from use and disposed of in a responsible manner. We work with fully qualified and insured RECI electricians who are always on hand to follow up our PAT Testing service with any required repairs to the appliances if they are deemed necessary.
