PAT and appliance testing · Cornwall
Harvtec provides portable and fixed appliance inspection and testing for workplaces, landlords, managed premises and operational equipment, using a proportionate approach shaped around the equipment and how it is used.
What Harvtec covers
Scope is agreed around the real property, equipment, access and evidence. The page explains the service without replacing a job-specific assessment.
Inspection and testing for movable electrical equipment where condition, use, movement and environment affect the maintenance approach.
Where the agreed scope includes permanently connected or fixed equipment, Harvtec can plan an appropriate inspection and testing route.
The useful outcome is a manageable record of what was included, the result, exceptions and what should happen next.
How the work moves
Agree locations, equipment types, ownership, operating environment and any existing register before setting the visit scope.
Use user checks, visual inspection and combined inspection and testing where each is appropriate to the equipment and environment.
Record the included equipment, outcome, exceptions and any action so the maintenance regime can be reviewed rather than blindly repeated.

Open sourceQuestions
No blanket annual rule applies. HSE says the legal duty is to maintain electrical equipment to prevent danger; inspection and testing should be proportionate to the equipment, use and environment.
No. Labels can be useful, but a clear equipment register, results and exceptions provide a stronger basis for managing the maintenance regime.
Where Magrathea is part of the agreed service, its PAT register can bring equipment profiles and test history into the wider asset and compliance workspace.
Appliance safety
Share the premises, approximate equipment population, type of use and any existing register. Harvtec will help define a proportionate scope.
