These crucial measures ensure that all electrical appliances are safe and suitably maintained to prevent any harm to staff and students. Many equipment manufacturers recommend regular testing to guarantee consistent safety. The interval between these tests is contingent on the type of appliance and its operating environment within the school.

Bristol PAT Testing requirements for students living in Halls of Residence
Many Universities including Bristol will state in term contracts that students living in student halls must have all personal electrical items PAT Tested. This can sometimes be a requirement of their building insurance policy and at other times be a part of their own electrical safety policy.
What this means is that any electrical item that students take with them to their student halls must be PAT Tested. This includes T.V's, X-Boxes, laptops or pc's and even fans or heaters. Global Compliance is passionate about the safety of all electrical appliances which is why we are the Premier company to choose for Bristol PAT Testing.
