The frequency depends on the type of equipment and environment. Generally, offices in Caerphilly should test every 2–4 years, construction equipment annually, and hire equipment before each hire. We provide tailored recommendations based on your specific circumstances.
Any portable electrical appliance with a plug should be tested, including computers, monitors, printers, kettles, microwaves, power tools, extension leads, desk lamps, and more. We can assess your Caerphilly premises and advise on all items requiring testing.
Testing time varies depending on the number and type of appliances. On average, each appliance takes 2–5 minutes to test. We work efficiently to minimise disruption to your Caerphilly business operations.
Failed appliances are labelled and removed from service. We provide a detailed report explaining the failure reason and recommendations for repair or replacement. This ensures safety and compliance in your Caerphilly property.
