We run annual education sessions for members (and others) offering training on COPISITEE (the new acronym for Portable Appliance Testing) and we also have our own equipment which members can use.
Any member who has received suitable training (whether from us or elsewhere) is able to borrow our test equipment, allowing them to check their own electrical equipment without the need to call in expensive electricians or the like.
To borrow the equipment, or to check availability, send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
The process is simple, you hand over £50 when you collect the equipment and when you return it, you get your £40 deposit back and a receipt for the £10 contribution to our costs. Each year we have the machine recalibrated and the kit includes screwdrivers, spare fuses and a specialist microwave tester plus stickers for each appliance tested, showing when it was tested, when it needs to be tested again, etc
