Portable Appliance Testing is a universal standard for the maintenance of handheld electrical appliances. In conjunction with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, every electrical appliance utilised within any place of work must be regularly assessed.

Your compliance with these regulations is our bread and butter.
