WhatsAppWhat is PAT testing?
PAT testing is the routine inspection and electrical testing of plug-in appliances. The process includes a visual examination of the plug, cable, and outer enclosure, followed by electrical checks for earth continuity and insulation resistance to verify that the equipment is safe to operate.
How is PAT testing priced for Chandler's Ford businesses?
Testing is priced according to the total count of appliances tested on site rather than an open hourly fee. Quotes are free, there is no callout fee, and any repairs to cables or plugs are priced separately off the completed report so you can choose when to proceed.
Does PAT testing cover fixed electrical wiring?
No. PAT testing applies exclusively to movable and portable plug-in equipment such as computers, power tools, extension leads, and kitchen kit. Building distribution boards and fixed cabling require an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).
What happens if an appliance fails its test?
If an item exhibits physical damage or fails the electrical insulation check, it is marked with a fail label and recorded on the report. It must be taken out of service immediately. Plug or lead replacements can be arranged as separate repair work before the item is retested.
Is MCI Electrical registered with an industry scheme?
Yes. MCI Electrical is NICEIC registered. Work is conducted in line with national technical standards, and documentation is provided directly upon completion of testing.
