Commercial Electrical Testing
Protecting your people, property and business is integral. Whilst commercial electrical testing may not feel like a priority, it’s important that businesses engage regularly with an expert they can trust.
When regularly checked and maintained, your electrical systems should correctly function and there be no risk to your safety. We give business owners clarity on problems, roadmaps to solutions and peace of mind that they’re compliant and protected.
Commercial Electrical Testing explained
Commercial electrical testing covers a lot of technical testing that keeps business premises safe across the UK. The team at Pattco are qualified to undertake multiple commercial electrical testing services, for businesses of all shapes and sizes.
Most commonly, commercial electrical testing will include EICRs, PAT testing and emergency lighting testing. After your tests are completed, our team are on hand to complete installation and remedial work that gets you protection fast and ensures compliance with legal regulations for your industry.
Why is commercial electrical testing important?
Electrical fittings and appliances might not seem like a risk – but if they’re not properly looked after, they can cause big problems. By regularly testing, you can prevent the risk of fire, damage to buildings and associated loss of life. It is often required by insurance and will need to be conducted to ensure compliance with contracts and specific laws, including the Electricity at Work Act and ISO 9001.
Prevention is always better (and more affordable) than the cure. Preventative maintenance with commercial electrical testing allows you to find a problem before it happens, and rest easy knowing you’re protected. At the end of our testing, you may be presented with a certificate that shows you’re compliant with UK regulations and offers advice on potential remedial work to increase the safety of your electrical equipment.
