PAT testing for Laboratories in the North East

We provide professional PAT Testing for Laboratories across the North East.

PAT Testing for Laboratories & Research Facilities

Laboratories, research facilities, and school science departments rely on specialized, high-precision equipment to conduct vital work. However, laboratory environments present unique electrical risks due to the constant presence of liquids, chemicals, and heat sources alongside high-voltage machinery. A faulty piece of kit can jeopardize months of research or compromise staff safety. At DRA PAT Testing, we provide expert, delicate electrical safety inspections tailored strictly to the compliance needs of laboratories across Newcastle, Tyneside, and the North East.
