Portable Appliance Testing UAE

Find Electrical Faults Before They Become Workplace Risks

Portable electrical equipment can develop damage through daily use, movement, heat, moisture, poor storage, or cable wear. A structured PAT programme combines visual examination with electrical testing to identify unsafe appliances and create reliable safety records.

Planned Around Operations

Testing schedules can be organised to reduce disruption.

PAT

Practical Workplace Safety

Inspection, testing, identification, and reporting in one coordinated service.

Reduce Electric Shock Risk

Identify insulation damage, exposed conductors, weak connections, and unsafe electrical conditions.

Identify Damaged Equipment

Detect damaged plugs, cables, enclosures, controls, and other signs of wear before failure.

Support Safety Compliance

Maintain organised inspection and test evidence for workplace safety management.

Reduce Unexpected Downtime

Find developing defects early and reduce interruptions caused by equipment breakdown.

Our PAT Testing Services

Inspection and Electrical Checks in One Coordinated Service

The exact test sequence depends on the appliance class, construction, supply arrangement, accessible conductive parts, and the intended use of the equipment.

Portable appliance electrical safety testing
Test 01

Visual Inspection

Examination of plugs, cables, casing, strain relief, signs of overheating, damage, wear, contamination, and unsuitable repairs.

Test 02

Earth Continuity

Verification of the protective earth path for Class I appliances, helping confirm low resistance continuity to exposed conductive parts.

Test 03

Insulation Resistance

Assessment of insulation condition to help identify deterioration, contamination, or electrical breakdown between conductors and accessible parts.

Test 04

Leakage Current

Measurement of current that may flow through protective earth or accessible parts during operation, where the test method is applicable.

Test 05

Polarity and Lead Checks

Verification of wiring and continuity for suitable plugs, extension leads, and power connections, including visible condition and correct termination.

Test 06

Functional Verification

Controlled operational checks to confirm the appliance functions as expected after inspection and electrical testing.

PAT Programme Workflow

A clear process from asset survey to final safety records

Testing is organised to keep equipment identification, results, labels and follow up actions easy to understand.

Step 01

Scope and Asset Review

Confirm locations, equipment categories, access arrangements and the required reporting format.

Step 02

Visual Examination

Inspect the appliance, plug, cable, enclosure and visible safety features before measurements.

Step 03

Electrical Testing

Complete the appropriate tests based on appliance class, construction and intended operation.

Step 04

Labelling and Report

Record results, identify equipment status and provide a clear asset based technical report.

On Site Testing Across the UAE

Plan Appliance Testing Around Your Workplace Schedule

METS Laboratories can coordinate PAT services at offices, hospitality sites, commercial facilities, and other workplaces. The scope can be divided by floor, department, asset group, or operational priority.

Portable appliance testing at a workplace

Immediate, Understandable Results

Clear identification supports faster decisions and safer equipment management.

Site Based Coordination

Testing can be arranged around access, occupancy, working hours, and normal business operations.

Asset Based Records

Results can be organised to support equipment tracking, internal records, and safety management.

Risk Based Scheduling

Test frequency can reflect appliance type, location, movement, operating conditions, and usage.

Clear Pass and Fail Status

Equipment outcomes are documented clearly so corrective action can be planned and prioritised.

Regulatory and Technical Alignment

Testing guided by recognised workplace safety practices

The exact requirements and test frequency depend on the equipment, environment, duty cycle, internal safety policy and any applicable authority or client requirements.

UAE Fire and Life Safety Code

Supports workplace electrical safety and fire risk management objectives.

Occupational Health and Safety Requirements

Helps organisations demonstrate practical control of electrical equipment risks.

IET Code of Practice

Guidance for in service inspection and testing of electrical equipment.

Applicable ISO and BS Guidance

Supporting procedures, documentation and broader safety management practices.
