PAT Testing in Bristol

Many equipment manufacturers recommend testing at regular intervals to ensure continual safety; the interval between tests depending on both the type of appliance and the environment in which it is to be used.

The responsibility to have this checked lies with the manufacturer or the importer and is policed by Trading Standards.
