Frequently Asked Questions –
What should be tested?
Audio equipment, lighting and musical instruments that use power would all benefit for a regular PAT regime.
How long does it take?
Around 20 items per hour, depending on minor repairs or length of flex.
Sometimes more if its all laid out for us.
How much does it cost?
Most DJ's and Band equipment will come under 30 items
Or we can offer a per engineer per day rate or half day rate if you prefer.
How often does PAT testing need to be done?
The PAT testing frequency varies on several factors, such as type of equipment, the environment, how it’s used and by who.
Otherwise, we find most of our customers opt for the 12 monthly inspection and test.
Why do you need PAT testing?
This is an area for your risk assessment, whilst there is no PAT testing regulation, there is The Electricity at Work Regulations that requires employers, including self-employed, ensure that all electrical equipment that is provided in their business is safe and properly maintained.
You will probably also find that the venue will also dictate this to you and require proof of testing (we send everything out in pdf so you can too)
