REEDSAFE - SERVICES
Reliable, trustworthy, experienced.
Good old fashioned values in a
modern world
PAT inspection of 240 volt appliances
This is quite likely the most common style of appliance
you will have in your office or shop environment. We can
test and inspect all types of 240 volt equipment from fan
heaters to computers, disco equipment to washing
machines, bottle fridges to glass washers. During the test
we will inspect the plugs, flex, casing and general
suitability of the appliance for the task it is performing in
the environment where it is located. The appliance is
then connected to our calibrated test equipment and the
electrical readings recorded.
PAT inspection of 110 and 415 volt
appliances
Reedsafe are regularly instructed to test site tooling that
operates at 110 volts. (If you are new to this, that would
be the yellow connector pictured) We can inspect all site
style equipment whether you are a contractor or site
operator. We test for many self employed electricians,
carpenters, plumbers, builders also construction sites. All
we ask for on site is a safe, dry environment for us to
work in.
As pictured, you will also see we carry a range of
adaptors for inspecting 415 volt appliances too.
PAT inspection of interconnecting
leads and extensions.
Reedsafe use specialist equipment that can also test
your mass of extension leads! These days we never seem
to have enough sockets under our desks so it is quite
common to find a multitude of these multi-way leads in
use. Whilst performing the inspection at your premises
we will check for over loading and offer advice on the
safe use of these leads if required.
In addition to extension leads and reels, we can also
check the leads that connect your computers to the
socket.
Temperature verification
Reedsafe are often instructed to visit public houses,
restaurants and hotels to inspect the electrical
appliances listed on an inventory pending sale or
transfer to a new operator. One of the checks we
perform during these visits is a check on the operating
temperature of fridges, freezers, ovens and fryers. This
test is not a requirement for PAT inspections but is useful
to determine if a refrigeration unit is performing well or a
fryer is likely to overheat. It can also be useful to check
the accuracy of a thermostat.
Microwave emission inspection
Reedsafe use the Robin TX90 microwave emission testing
kit to verify safe operation of both domestic and
commercial microwave ovens. This can be booked as a
stand alone service however, when we are visiting your
site to undertake your PAT inspection, Reedsafe perform
this test as part of the service and at no extra charge!
Using the beakers pictured, we can also verify the output
power of your ovens to ensure they are running at peak
performance.
Socket verification
Reedsafe will perform a visual inspection of all sockets
your appliances are connected to whilst performing the
PAT test at your premises. This is a free visual check that
is listed as a requirement in our Code of Practice for
inspection and testing. We are simply looking for
evidence of over heating or damage.
For an additional fee, we can also connect our test
equipment to the sockets to verify correct polarity.
Let us know if you would like this additional service when
making your first enquiry with us.
