PAT Testing Print
Portable Appliance Testing is vital to protect your business and its employees. At Vulcan Fire Ltd we aim to give the best PAT testing service to enable you to fulfil your equipment safety obligations.

All portable electrical equipment is subject to damage during use, and this could render the equipment dangerous to use. Without regular testing and inspection, you have not taken reasonable steps to ensure the safety of users.

Electrical safety obligations are not limited to businesses. Landlords are also responsible for ensuring the regular testing of all appliances they provide for their tenants. All portable appliances with a main plug need testing.


This includes:
  • Computers, monitors and peripherals requiring mains power
  • Audio and telephone equipment requiring mains power
  • Kettles, microwave ovens and other kitchen appliances
  • Vacuum cleaners
  • Extension leads

We use the latest PAT equipment to test both 230V and 110V appliances and, as specialists in PAT testing, we are best placed to help you comply with your legal obligations. All our testing is carried out in accordance with The Institute of Electrical Engineers’ (IEE) code of practice.

Tests and inspections should be made at reasonable and regular intervals, bearing in mind the rate of use of both portable and fixed appliances.

Please contact us to discuss your requirements and book your PAT Testing appointment.
