Reporting

On completion of testing, a detailed portable appliance inspection and testing report will be presented to your company. If testing is carried out over a number of locations nationwide, each site will receive a separate report for appliances tested. Our reports are well presented and easy to understand in the following format:

  • A smart front cover shows your company details and the location of the site tested along with the date of testing.
  • Then there is the Faulty Equipment Page which details any items that were faulty and needed fixing or replacing. It includes the items description and name for easy understanding.
  • The details of the inspection and test report. The register shows a description of all appliances that have been tested, the appliance location at the time of testing and the date and re-test date of testing as well as if it was a pass or a fail.

Overview

Each company or site will be presented with a Portable Appliance Inspection & Testing Report on completion of testing at a site, providing detailed information on each appliance in each department. Reports can be presented via email for easier storage and sharing or by hard copy through the post. Our report system will also act as an asset register to help keep track of all electrical appliances in your organisation.

Each appliance that passes inspection & testing will receive a safety sticker, showing all visitors and employees your serious obligation to Health & Safety issues.

We carry out the following repairs free of charge:
