PAT Testing
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT), also known as a PAT inspection, is the easiest way to ensure your electrical appliances are safe to use.
PAT involves both visual and electrical inspections. Our experienced PAT Testers will look for visible signs of damage such as, dents, discolouration, scorch marks and wear, followed by an electrical inspection whereby specialised PAT devices are used to detect some types of defects including earth resistance, earth continuity and insulation resistance tests.
At iTest-Electrical we have been providing PAT testing throughout Scotland since 2015. Our network of experienced PAT Testers carry out over 200,000 equipment tests every year, keeping businesses across a range of industries compliant and safe.

Electrical Inspection Condtion Report (EICR)
An Electrical Inspection Condition Report, or EICR for short, is the inspection and testing of electrical installations like light fittings, fuse boxes, and plug sockets. It is sometimes referred to as fixed wire testing or an electrical inspection.
Electrical installations can become damaged over time and pose a potential fire risk.
EICR testing ensures your workplace or rental property is compliant with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
An initial Visual Inspection will be carried out to help identify obvious defects, loose connections overheating or incorrect installations. This will be followed by Testing and Verification this stage involves a series of electrical tests to verify the safety and functionality of the electrical installation.
Once all checks are complete, the findings are documented in the form of an Electrical Installation Condition Report.
Your inspection will be performed by one of our highly skilled Electricians with a wealth of experience in carrying out EICRs.

Emergency Light Report
Emergency Lighting is normally required to operate fully automatically and give illumination of a sufficiently high level to enable all occupants to evacuate the premises safely. As this equipment is installed primarily for life safety, it is important that preventative maintenance is carried out regularly.
In accordance with the requirements of BS 5266, emergency lighting systems should be periodically tested and inspected to ensure that all luminaries (including signage) function correctly.
In addition to regular monthly tests (also known as a flick test) which are to be carried out by the person responsible for fire safety, annual full duration discharge tests are required.
ITest Electrical offer a testing service during which the Emergency Lighting system is tested for correct emergency illumination by simulating mains failure on the appropriate primary lighting circuit for a duration of 3 hours. On completion a full report will be issued outlining any remedial works to be undertaken.
Lightning Protection Testing
Lightning Protection systems play a crucial role in safeguarding structures and their occupants from the destructive forces of lightning strikes. Regular testing ensures their effectiveness and compliance with safety standards.
Annual Testing: Once a lightning protection system is installed, it must be professionally tested at least once a year. This ensures that it can effectively conduct a potential lightning strike to a safe earthing point. The requirement for annual testing is in accordance with the Electricity at Work Act 1989 and BS EN 62305. Compliance with this legal requirement is essential to ensure safety and minimize risks associated with lightning strikes.
During your inspection our qualified Engineer will visually inspect and test all lightning conductors and earth grounding installations, where each earth grounding point and its conductors are electronically tested for resistance to ground. On completion of checks our engineer will issue a detailed report highlighting any issues.
Remember, maintaining and testing lightning protection systems is not only a legal obligation but also a crucial step in protecting lives and property during thunderstorms.
Thermographic Survey
What is an Electrical Thermographic Survey? An Electrical Thermographic Survey is a visual investigation carried out to detect abnormally high temperatures within an electrical installation. When components in a system malfunction, they often exhibit an increase in temperature. This rise in temperature could be due to loose connections and over loaded circuits (the most common cause of electrical fires), transformer cooling faults, motor winding faults and induced currents.
The Purpose of carrying out a survey is to detect abnormally high temperatures within electrical systems & identify problems before they escalate.
Our qualified engineer will carry out your survey using a Thermal Imager which captures heat distribution pictures by measuring infrared radiation. Electrical thermal imaging surveys are non-intrusive, enabling inspections to be completed safely and efficiently, without interruption to your business operations.
A Thermographic Survey allows for early detection of timely corrective actions and ensures safety for personnel and equipment. It also helps maintain system reliability.
Think of it as an X-Ray for your equipment, revealing hidden issues and contributing to fire and electrical safety for your premises.
Fire Extinguisher Servicing
Fire Extinguisher Service
Fire Extinguisher servicing is a vital process which ensures these life-saving devices are ready for action when needed.
It is a legal requirement that your fire extinguishers are serviced annually by a certified engineer.
iTest Electrical offer a comprehensive annual service during which our engineer will carry out a number of checks including:
– Is the extinguisher in date?
– Is it in visibly good condition?
– Has it been tampered with?
– Is the weight and/or pressure correct?
– Does the pin work?
– Is the hose in good working order?
– Are the instructions on the extinguisher legible?
At the end of the service, the engineer will be able to tell you which extinguishers need replacing, or advise on additional extinguishers you may need to bring you in line with regulations
