Scope

TestSafe Compliance provides audit, assessment and reporting only. We do not provide legal advice or act as legal representatives.

Repair or recycle

A failed appliance does not have to leave you with the problem. We can take faulty items away for responsible disposal under the WEEE Regulations, or attempt an on-site repair where the fault is straightforward.

Any item we repair is re-tested and added back to your register so the record stays accurate. Items beyond a straightforward repair are referred to a qualified electrician.

FAQs

Common questions about PAT testing

How often do I need PAT testing in Devon?

There is no fixed legal interval. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require electrical equipment to be maintained in a safe condition; HSE guidance and most insurers expect annual PAT testing for commercial and rented premises, with shorter intervals for high-use environments like construction.

Do you provide a PAT testing certificate?

Yes. You get a written register of every appliance tested, a pass or fail per item, and recommendations on anything that should be removed from service.

How much does PAT testing cost?

Pricing depends on appliance count. You can get a quote on the contact page after a short scoping conversation, no per-item charge surprises after the visit.

Do you test fixed wiring (EICR)?

Not as part of PAT testing. We can refer you to a NICEIC contractor for fixed wiring inspections.
