Q - Does any equipment fail PAT Testing?
Yes. Recent surveys have shown that on average 1.4% of equipment tested, fails. 
This may not sound like a large amount. But it only takes one piece of faulty or worn equipment to result in - false readings, electrical shorts or worst-case, electrocution.  

Q -What Happens if an appliance or equipment fails a PAT Test. 
Many Electrical companies will perform the tests and simply present you with a result report detailing the Pass or Fail. We do not work like that. We immediately inform you if any equipment fails. And we will either correct the fault then and there, or provide solutions so that your business is not impacted.

  • Yourself
  • Your employees
  • Your tenants 
  • Your business
  • And reputation at risk
PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) is the inspection of any electrical appliance that can be moved, whether it is connected or disconnected from an electrical supply.
These tests can only be carried out by a qualified testers & Electrical contractor such as Flodman Electrical.   And these should be completed on a regular basis i.e. annually.
