Hi All,
I've been asked by the company I work for to implement PAT testing.
The company is a call-centre / large office type business, and so most of the electrical items are desk PCs, printers, monitors, extension leads, fans etc., etc, plus kettles and microwaves in the kitchens and hand dryers in the toilets.
They have not had PAT testing before, and so will be buying in the necessary equipment.
They have given me the job, rather than get a contractor in, because I am on an evening C&G 2330 electrical course. PAT testing is part of this course so I know about the actual testing and recording, I just need recommendations as to what equipment to buy. They have asked me to find the equipment, and have given me a budget of £500, though I'm sure I can persuade them to go a bit higher.
So, any recommendations please???? I take it that I only really need a PAT testing unit, plus labels, so what's the best I can get for £500?
I don't want one of the fancy units that records the results and prints the labels; I will be setting up my own database on a PC and am happy to write-out labels myself.
The unit will only be used at this company and only at the times when testing is due, i.e. it will not be getting the heavy, day-in, day-out use that an electrical contractor's unit would.
Thanks.
