The PAT testing and marketing guides included are a unique feature of the package. They are designed to assist in setting up, running and growing a PAT testing business.
The Guide to PAT testing explains how to perform PAT esting. It assumes some practical experience of working with electricity, but not of portable appliance testing. While remaining simple, it is intended to aid in the detail of how to test and includes identification of the different types of assets that exist and which tests to perform on each type. It also includes the recommended pass/fail criteria from the Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment (published by the IEE) enabling easy identification of a good or faulty asset.
Further opportunities for business may then exist in the repair of faulty assets e.g. a blown fuse or replaced mains lead or plug may incur additional charges to the primary testing fee.
A key feature of this guide is that it has been written in a brief, easy-to-understand style, enabling an easy grasp of PAT testing.
The "Guide to marketing a PAT test business" supplied on the CD provides direction through the difficult business of identifying and locating potential clients, and selling PAT testing services to them. It includes some of the legal background and explains that as an experienced electrician, no additional qualification is required.
