Portable and fixed appliance testing

A testing programme built around risk.

Inspection, electrical testing and useful asset records for equipment in rented property, offices, workshops and operational sites.

More than labels

Inspection first, test where it adds evidence.

The right frequency depends on the equipment, how it is used and the environment. It is not automatically an annual exercise for every item.

We help establish a sensible scope, identify assets clearly and produce records that can support ongoing management.

  • Portable electrical equipment
  • Fixed and stationary appliances
  • Office and IT equipment
  • Landlord-provided appliances
  • Workshop and commercial equipment

Operational testing

Planned around the site, not dropped on top of it.

For larger workplaces we agree access, shutdown constraints, asset identification and reporting format before the visit.

Defects and inaccessible items are recorded clearly so the register remains useful after the tester leaves.

The programme

A repeatable route through the asset base.

  1. 01

    Scope

    Define locations, equipment types, risk and access.

  2. 02

    Identify

    Match equipment to a clear asset record.

  3. 03

    Inspect and test

    Complete the relevant checks and measurements.

  4. 04

    Record

    Issue results, exceptions and retest information.

Plan the visit

Tell us the site and approximate equipment count.

We can then shape a proportionate testing programme and practical visit plan.
