PORTABLE APPLIANCE TESTING
Portable Appliance Testing or PAT Testing Is the examination of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use.
Enviro FWA’s Portable Appliance Testing Operatives perform portable electrical appliance testing throughout Northern Ireland and Ireland, helping our clients meet their Electricity at Work Regulations.
