We provide a range of products to the workplace to help with onsite cleaning and maintenance.

We can arrange to collect your equipment, inspect and test it with care, and then deliver it back to your depot, complete with test report.
electrical equipment testing The typical treatment your equipment will undergo at our factory is as follows:
  1. Preparation - Each item is carefully identified.
  2. Washing and Drying - Commercial washers and dryers are used to thoroughly cleanse each item.
  3. Inspection - Rigorous inspection procedures are used to find any sign of deterioration. Gloves and sleeves are inflated and blankets rolled to assist in detecting flaws.
  4. Electrical Testing - Testing is performed to the relevant ASTM and IEC standards. Leakage current is monitored recorded and documented in your test report.
  5. Packaging and Shipping - Each item is thoroughly dried after testing, given another visual inspection and carefully packed ready for shipment back to your live line crew.
Equipment that fails to pass all our rigorous test procedures is clearly identified and the client is contacted. All equipment tested and supplied is maintained on our database so we have an appropriate register for when equipment is due for its next test.
