Rob the testing engineer arrived on time. Communicated well to start the testing immediately after a small walk around. He Worked well with all concerned to get all the items tested within the day and was willing to stay till completed. Test Report was received the same day for all items and they will be booked in to retest in 12 months.Now the payment for the PAT Testing has been processed, Dra advised receipt of payment and that they will contact me in advance of the retesting requirement and offered other electrical work doing such as fixed appliance testing, or your EICR.I requested retesting were a 3 monthly site requirement was in place and this was arranged and completed efficiently. Report was sent in and invoice was then received. Great service. Keep up the good work and i look forward to DRA getting in touch for the retesting in 3 months as i have already arranged the 12 monthly retesting of office / shop floor equipment.

Why do you need Electrical Equipment Testing?
Whilst you don’t need to get a PAT test done by law, you are legally required to ensure your electrical equipment is safe to continue being used; and the only recognised way of doing this is to get it PAT tested.
The PAT test will check your appliance is safe – any faults will be repaired; if it can’t be repaired it’ll fail and recommendations will be made for what to do next.
The PAT Testing Certificate Report you are provided with details the tests carried out and results obtained – you need that if there is ever an accident or fire. You’ll also need it if you get a visit from the fire officer or a risk assessor. You need it if you get inspected by a governing body such as the CQC or Ofsted, for example.
You must ensure all electrical equipment is safe, including appliances with a plug, and those that have been ‘hard wired’; although the rules are different. We’ll guide you if it applies.
You are responsible for ensuring electrical equipment you use at work or in another workplace is safe – so get it checked – Protect yourself.
