Out PAT testing services is a sophisticated test of each appliance and each applaince tested inspected and all results recorded. All passed appliances are stickered with a test date, and retest date for the user to see when renewal is due.
We also issue a full list of all appliances tested and inspected and all results. A certificate is issued for display to show appliances have been tested and inspected and all have passed and are safe and fit for use.
Most business insurances wil require properties to have these certificates so as standard we also keep certificates and records on our dedicated certificate server (backed up and hard copies too) this encase for example in worse case documentation is lost or destroyed and insuarance purposes wish a copy of these certificates.
