Portable appliance testing requires a series of visual inspections and electronic tests to be performed to establish the safety and suitability of your electrical appliances. If performed correctly, you can expect that each electrical appliance within your workplace will have to be de-energised for a period of 2-5 minutes whilst the Engineer injects test signals into the cable and appliance to ensure their integrity and carries out a thorough visual inspection of the appliance, its plug top and lead. This type of work does not require the main supply to be isolated and with careful planning can be done with little disruption to your business. Alternatively, this work can be carried out whilst your workplace is empty, such as nights, weekends or holiday periods.
