PART-P

We have had our part p registration and approval, and would be happy to discuss your requirements under the new regulations.

PAT testing.

We occasionally get enquiries from customers asking us to explain some of the tests that we carry out, one of the most frequently asked questions seems to be concerning items that have a separate power lead. 

Some of our competitors are telling our customers that although they charge more per test than we charge that they are in fact cheaper because they will test the lead and appliance together as one test, this would appear to make sense, because it follows that if there was a fault on either the lead or the appliance then it should be picked up on one test, this is wrong.  The contractors using this as a sales tool are either misinformed or are unaware  of the regulations there are two reasons for testing the leads separately.

 

  1. Firstly the regulations state that items with removal leads should have separate tests.

  2. Secondly the test carried out on IT equipment or other sensitive equipment are different from the test's carried out on the power leads, it is just not possible to test them both at the same time, if the test was carried out to check the power lead (a class 1 test) then this could damage the sensitive appliance.

Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (EAWR) places a legal responsibility on employers and employees, as duty holders, to ensure that electrical systems used at work under their control are safe.
