Education sector support
School PAT testing planned around your timetable.
Maritime Electrical Services provides practical electrical equipment testing and PAT testing for schools, colleges and education settings across London and the South East. We plan visits around teaching hours, safeguarding requirements and the equipment your staff and pupils rely on every day.
What we test
Clear records for the equipment that keeps learning moving.
IT suites and digital learning
Planned testing for desktop computers, monitors, laptops, docking stations, power supplies and shared charging equipment.

Legal compliance
PAT testing obligations for schools
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, schools and educational establishments are legally required to maintain all electrical equipment in a safe condition. Ofsted inspections and insurance assessments increasingly expect documented evidence of regular portable appliance testing — a PAT test register is your proof of compliance.
