Welcome to ACE Testing - Your Trusted PAT Testing Services

Portable appliance testing, commonly known as PAT testing, is a way of checking your electrical equipment to see if it is safe and is vital to protect your business, its employees or tenants. According to the Health & Safety Executive, portable appliances account for 25% of all reportable electrical accidents.

By regularly carrying out PAT Testing you can ensure compliance with The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, which requires that any electrical equipment that has the potential to cause injury is maintained in a safe condition. You can read more about why you should PAT test here.
