Introduction
As electrical safety becomes a top priority across construction, industrial, and commercial sectors in the UAE, Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is emerging as an essential compliance service. This is particularly true in regions like Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah, where regulatory frameworks enforced by authorities such as ADM, ADOSH, QCC, Civil Defense, ADNOC, and MOIAT demand strict adherence to workplace and equipment safety standards.
Our Portable Appliance Testing Services are carried out in accordance with UAE authority requirements and global standards, under accreditation from ENAS, ISO 17020, and LEEA. While these accreditation bodies confirm our technical competence and quality systems, we work in full compliance with UAE government regulatory requirements to ensure equipment safety, regulatory approval, and liability protection.
Purpose of Portable Appliance Testing
PAT Testing is essential for identifying electrical faults that could lead to shocks, fires, or equipment failure. The service supports a wide range of safety and operational objectives:
- Regulatory Compliance: Satisfy the safety requirements set by ADM, ADOSH, QCC, MOIAT, Civil Defense, and ADNOC, especially for public, industrial, and oil & gas facilities.
- Risk Reduction: Detect early-stage electrical faults, loose wiring, or insulation breakdowns before they lead to accidents.
- Legal & Insurance Protection: Maintain certified records that demonstrate electrical safety compliance during audits or insurance claims.
- Operational Reliability: Minimize unexpected breakdowns or power issues linked to faulty appliances.
- Handover Certification: Provide documented evidence for project consultants, clients, and government inspectors.
What is PAT Testing?
Portable Appliance Testing involves the inspection and testing of plug-connected electrical devices to confirm their safety and proper function. It combines visual inspections with a series of electrical measurements, including:
- Earth Continuity Testing
- Insulation Resistance Measurement
- Polarity Checks
- Functional Testing
- Visual Damage & Cable Inspections
Testing is conducted on-site using calibrated equipment, and each tested device is labeled with a pass/fail status and a next test due date.
