PAT Testing IT Equipment — Computers, Monitors and Servers

IT equipment needs PAT testing. Here is how to do it without disruption.

IT equipment makes up the majority of portable appliances in most offices.

What IT Equipment Needs Testing?

  • Desktop computers and monitors
  • Laptop chargers and docking stations
  • Printers, scanners, and copiers
  • Phone chargers
  • UPS units
  • Servers (portable or plug-in)

Will PAT Testing Damage Computers?

No. PAT testing does not damage IT equipment. The tests are non-destructive and within tolerances of modern electronics.

What About Data Loss?

Each appliance is briefly unplugged for 30 to 60 seconds. We give staff notice to save work. For servers, we can schedule testing outside business hours.

Book your office PAT test and we will minimise disruption.
