Portable Appliance Testing is a process by which electrical appliances are routinely checked to see whether they are safe. To establish the safety and suitability of your electrical appliances, we carry out a visual inspection of the appliance, its plug and lead and will also inject test signals into the cable and appliance to ensure their integrity.
Portable Appliance Testing legislation was put into effect to ensure that all companies conform to the Health and Safety at Work Act of 1974, Electricity at Work Regulations of 1989, Provision and Use of Work Equipment regulations of 1998 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work regulations of 1999.
The frequency of Portable Appliance Testing differs depending on your business area. Offices, shops and hotels range from 12-24 months whilst schools should be tested every 12 months. In the construction industry all 110V equipment used on construction sites should be tested every 3 months.
An EICR is an Electrical Installation Condition Report. It is a formal document that is produced following an assessment of the electrical installation within a property. It must be carried out by an experienced qualified electrician or approved contractor.
As a landlord, you must by law have the electrical installations in your property inspected at least every 5 years by a qualified electrician. You must also provide a copy of the landlord electrical safety certificate to your tenants, as well as the local authority if requested.

New installation testing is a procedure that verifies the safety of a new electrical installation. It involves a series of tests that evaluate the installation’s safety devices, conductors, earthing arrangements, and supply parameters.
