Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)
Electrical work equipment and installations must be demonstrably safe in order to reduce the risk of faults, downtime, and incidents. Control Union carries out inspections and testing in accordance with applicable standards, including NEN 3140 and NEN 1010. Our inspectors provide clear reports and practical insight into the technical condition of equipment and installations, enabling any necessary repair or replacement measures to be planned in good time.
Electrical safety and compliance
All inspections, reports, and certificates are recorded digitally and made available via the online portal. This ensures the inspection history of work equipment and installations remains visible at all times. Depending on the situation, inspections of electrical work equipment and fixed installations can be combined, allowing management and compliance to be organised efficiently.
Electrical safety provides operational control, insight, and assurance
Control over compliance and inspections
By combining inspections with planned site visits, electrical work equipment and installations remain demonstrably inspected without additional mobilisations or disruption to operations.
Objective inspection results
Control Union carries out inspections independently and provides an objective assessment of the technical condition of electrical work equipment and installations. All findings are recorded in clear inspection reports.
Fast digital reporting
Inspection results are recorded digitally and are often available immediately after the inspection. This keeps lead times short and allows prompt action to be taken on any findings.
Timely visibility of risks
Periodic inspections identify defects and non-conformities in good time. This reduces the risk of faults, electric shocks, and fire, while keeping the condition of equipment demonstrably visible.
Fewer mobilisations through combined inspections
Inspections of electrical work equipment and installations can be combined with inspections of, for example, lifting and hoisting equipment, fall protection equipment, and access equipment. This reduces costs and operational disruption.
The proof to your promise
Complete peace of mind through a single inspection partner
Control Union combines inspections of electrical work equipment and installations with inspections of other work equipment, such as lifting and hoisting equipment, fall protection equipment, and access equipment. As a result, fewer separate visits are required, keeping mobilisations, costs, and operational disruption to a minimum.
