ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE TESTERS

Moreover, maintaining the integrity of your mains and having an understanding of how much power your appliances use is also just good practice.

Types of tests that you may need to perform are those related to current leakage and insulation (500v and 250 v). Other applications which testers can be used for include analysing class one and two equipment, extension leads, safety switches and your overall mains power supply.

But no matter what the test is you’re performing, you need to guarantee that your portable electrical appliance testing equipment (also known as PAT testers) are accurate and working reliably in the first place.

To ensure this, you need to have your portable electrical appliance testers calibrated. We advise that you have it done annually, which is typically in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

To National standards

Our calibration services are traceable to Australian national standards by way of an unbroken chain of refernce standards calibration. As stated in AS/NZS:3760:2010: "The equipment required to carry out the tests detailed in this Standard (AS/NZS3760) should be subjected to routine verification at regular intervals to ensure it is working correctly and its accuracy is maintained." This procedure is audited by our third party certification body (SAI Global) to the premier ISO 9001-2008 standard.
