Conforms with the IEE Code of Practice for in-service inspection & testing of electrical equipment, published by the institute of Electrical Engineers.
Should the client wish GMS Portable Appliance Testing. to deviate from any part of it, must be confirmed in writing by the client before commencement of contract.
PAT Testing is on a 1 yearly frequency, unless client requests other test frequency e.g. (2 yearly, 3 yearly, 4 yearly on IT equipment. i.e. Schools, Office's etc.)
3 monthly, 6 monthly test frequency requested e.g. (power tools, i.e. Construction Companies etc.)
The client can also request the category of Inspection & Testing (either formal visual inspection or combined inspection & testing.)
These are the following tests to be performed;
Moulded plugs and plug tops to be inspected to ensure:
Conformance with BS 1363 or equivalent.
Correctly wired & terminations are secure.
Correctly cable clamped, grips outer cable insulation.
Correct rating fuses in plug tops to conformance with BS 1362.
To inspect for any physical damage or signs of overheating and that there is no physical damage to fuse holders.
The appliance’s mains lead will be inspected through out it’s length to ensure that:
There are no breaks of outer insulation on mains lead to appliance.
There is no physical damage or signs of overheating.
When entering the appliance it is properly secured by cable gland or clamp.
Detachable mains leads will be inspected through out it’s length and tested to ensure:
There are no breaks of outer insulation on mains lead to appliance.
There is no physical damage or signs of overheating.
That the connector is securely attached to the lead.
Acceptable values for earth continuity, insulation resistance, polarity is correct and continuity of
conductors.
All appliances will be inspected to ensure:
That the appliances are not damaged as to ensure safe and
correct operation.
The mains on / off switch is not damaged and operates correctly.
Acceptable values for earth continuity are present where
applicable (some appliances do not have to be earthed)
Acceptable values for Insulation resistance or Earth leakage.
Every appliance will be labelled on flex near plug or on the appliance itself.

Next test date due:
Any appliances wich fail any part of testing proceedure will be logged down on a failure report sheet and have a red failure label to indicate danger do not use. Any failed appliances will have plug tops removed off appliance, so that it can not be used. The failure report sheet then is completed and handed to client representative, so the appropriate action can be taken.
When the testing is completed, we will submit a fully bound report of appliances tested and certificate of testing.
