Failure Rates

We generally find that 1.5% to 2% of all appliances that we test are un safe. Most of these faulty appliances have the potential to cause electric shock, electrocution, or electrical fire.

New to Service Tags

We can also supply New to Service tags. Newly purchased items do not need to be tested upon purchase; however they do need to be tagged upon introduction to the workplace to indicate when they are required to be tested next.

The benefits of asset owners attaching an NTS tag to new items at the time of introduction are: Users can be assured that the "new" status of an installed item is guaranteed and cannot be confused with an untagged item. The individual responsible for testing and tagging items at the site would be certain that the item is new to service and was not omitted from a previous round of tests. The individual responsible for testing and tagging items has all newly introduced items conveniently tagged with an appliance number and appliance number bar code, which speeds up the test procedure.

ATS Asset Tracking System

	As a part of the ATS Appliance Testing and Tagging process, all electrical appliances are tagged with an individually numbered identifiable bar code for continual identification purposes. This creates an asset register and a database of all appliances tested.
	The database contains the following information on each asset: Appliance bar code identity; Description / serial number (if required); Location: ATS Technician Name; Inspection Test Date; Next Inspection Test Date; Results of Inspection / Test; Comments
	All data collected is integrated into one centrally administered database, the ATS Asset Tracking System, which offers the following benefits:   National database across all sites – never lose track of an item again! Implementation of electronic Asset register and monitoring process; Reduced Data entry, paperwork, and management time; Reduction in overall expenditure; A transparent management process of the contractor, pricing & quality control; Accelerated data return, & analysis of all bar coded, and tested electrical assets; Professional services provided by one contractor; Prompt courteous service, 24 hours a day by our ETS engineers in full distinctive ETS uniform; and Improved operational efficiency.
	ATS will provide you with this data in a format suitable for your requirements.

ATS Repair and Replacement Service

	ATS can replace onsite failed items such as computer IEC leads and Plug Tops at a reasonable cost.
	Extension leads can be repaired or replaced.
	Power-boards with RCD and surge protections can also be supplied at competitive rates.

Ongoing equipment maintenance

	Just because an item is tagged does not mean it is safe until the next test date.  The tag simply shows that on the date of testing, the item complied with safety requirements.
	Simply seeing a tag does not relieve you or your staff from an ongoing obligation to make sure the item continues to be safe.  If it is damaged in any obvious way, have it taken out of service, repaired and re-tested before being re-introduced to service, and mark the actions you have taken in your equipment records.

Data Management

Have you thought about how you want to receive your data to make it truly useful to your business?  ATS can provide you with hard copy, email or CD copies of your data in the format to suit your requirements.
