BFR Electrical Testing

We are working as usual during lockdown - we'll wear full PPE and observe all your safety measures whilst on site. We can come and clean all of your office equipment, as well as carrying out PAT Testing to make sure all the equipment is safe to use. Because fires are often caused by electrical faults, many insurance companies now require Portable Appliance Testing or PAT Testing to be carried out before issuing cover. If you employ staff, have visiting clientele, or use your own appliances at external venues, there is legislation to which you need to conform, in order to safeguard yourself and your business.

Any appliance under 1 year old should not require Portable Appliance Testing. However, the fact a product is new does does not guarantee it is without fault. It would therefore be advisable to complete any product registration and keep your proof of purchase from the outset. A Braintree business, that manufactures and hires out inflatables, supplied a bouncy castle to a local school after a booking for a staff bonding day. Unbeknown to the hire company, who did not carry out regular PAT Testing on their appliances, the brand new electric air blower used to inflate the bouncy castle had a cross wiring fault, which resulted in an incident.

Each appliance will be thoroughly inspected and tested to establish its safety, and a pass label attached to show that it has passed. Plugs needing rewiring, faulty fuses, etc, will be corrected and the appliance re-tested at no extra cost. A certificate and detailed test report will be issued to show compliance. You and your staff deserve to be treated with courtesy, and we will work with you to ensure the minimum of disruption to your business flow.
