Electrical Equipment Testing (EET)
Call: 07522118573
Our service focuses on the inspection and testing of fixed and hard-wired electrical equipment — the highest-risk assets within commercial premises. Where portable equipment exists within the same environment, this is assessed as part of the overall compliance visit, eliminating the need for separate contractors or repeat site visits.
About Fixed Appliance Testing
About Fixed Appliance Testing
At Fixed Appliance Testing, we specialise in the safety, reliability, and longevity of your fixed electrical assets. Our mission is simple: to ensure that every hard-wired appliance in your facility-from hand dryers to industrial ovens-operates safely and meets the latest legal standards. Fixed Appliance Testing specifically targets equipment that is permanently connected to the electrical installation, usually via a fused spur or hard-wiring. Because these items cannot be simply unplugged, they require a higher level of technical expertise to test safely.
By utilising the latest industry-leading equipment, we perform these speclialist fixed tests alongside standard PAT testing, providing a comprehensive safety profile for your entire premises.
Examples of Hard-Wired Appliances
Any appliance that does not have a plug and is connected via a cable directly into a wall unit requires FAT. Common examples include:
Heating & Cooling: Storage heaters, electric radiators, and air conditioning units.
Washroom Equipment: Electric hand dryers and high-power water heaters/boilers.
Kitchen Appliances: Industrial ovens, large hobs, and commercial dishwashers.
Industrial Machinery: Fixed drill presses, lathes, or conveyor systems.
External Equipment: Hard-wired security lighting and electric gate motors.

How often should it be done?
How often should it be done?
How often should testing be carried out? Electrical safety is not "one size fits all." Requirements vary based on your industry and the risk level of your environment. We follow the IET Code of Practice to ensure your business remains fully compliant. General Guidelines:
Low-Risk Environments (Offices, HMOs & Retail):
Typically recommended every 12 to 24 months.High-Risk Environments (Factories & Workshops): Require more frequent checks due to dust and heavy usage.
High-Use Appliances: Items like commercial hand dryers or shared kitchen equipment often need 6 to 12-month inspections.
