Complete PAT testing records for every appliance

Some testers stick a tag on your lead and drive off, and that tag is all you're left with.

A visit from Pulse leaves you with three things every time: tags on the appliances, an asset register and a compliance certificate, all produced by a dedicated testing machine and its software.

PAT Testing (Portable Appliance Testing) intervals are set according to the environment each item works in, rather than a single annual sweep across the whole site.

Pulse Compliance is happy to test on site anywhere in Canterbury, or you're welcome to drop appliances at the Middleton workshop. To talk through your site and unit count,
send us an enquiry.

Test and tag visits that leave you compliant

  • Tags on the appliances, an asset register and a compliance certificate issued after every visit
  • Every pass and fail recorded by dedicated testing machine software
  • Retest intervals set around the environment the appliance actually works in; hire, workshop or office
Workplace appliance testing and tagging on site across Christchurch, Middleton and Canterbury-wide, with mobile visits when your appliances can't leave the premises

What portable appliance testing covers

AS/NZS 3760 applies to portable electrical equipment such as leads, kettles, toasters, laptops and fridges.
Retesting intervals depend on where and how each item is used. Hire equipment may need testing every three months, while workshop equipment is often tested every six months. Office equipment may be tested anywhere from annually to every five years.
For larger sites, Mike can schedule regular testing and reminders to help keep your appliance register up to date.

Mobile testing or Middleton workshop drop-off

Most testing and tagging happens on site, anywhere in Canterbury. Appliances can also be dropped at our workshop in Middleton. We work weekdays, with weekend or after-hours visits by appointment.

Pricing starts with an attendance fee covering the first five items, then per-unit rates. The service is best suited to commercial sites and fleets with approximately 50 or more items.

Failed appliances, registers and service limits

Any failed appliance is instantly tagged out of service and recorded in our testing software, creating a permanent, verifiable paper trail that is fully prepared for insurer or auditor reviews. From there, you have complete record transparency and can choose to dispose of failed assets immediately or set them aside for repair.

Mike focuses specifically on PAT testing for plug-in equipment safety. For anything involving main electrical work, gas fitting, or fire safety, we can organise dedicated, fully insured subcontractors for the job.

It depends on the environment. Hire items need a tag no older than three months. Workshop environments are generally six-monthly, while office equipment runs from 12 months to five years. 

Anything your team touches and moves: power leads, jugs, toasters, laptops and fridges that shift around. Hardwired/permanently fixed equipment sits outside portable appliance testing requirements.

Pricing is built from an attendance fee covering the first five items, plus a per-unit rate after that. Mike confirms the figure once he knows your appliances, site and locations involved.

It's tagged out of service immediately and recorded as a fail on your register. Some clients destroy failed gear, while others set it aside for repair. Repairs aren't carried out here.

Tags on the appliances, an asset register and a compliance certificate, all produced from the testing machine software. Official standards and interval documentation is provided for checking your site intervals.
